Since the district that I work for, Castleberry ISD, has as a goal this year of increasing the rigor of the teachers teaching and to increase the level of student work through a better implementation of the New Bloom's Taxonomy, I am constantly on the look out for different ways to put Bloom's Taxonomy in front of the teachers. It is really not that difficult to find anything on Bloom's Taxonomy since all you need to do is type into the search line of any search engine "Bloom's Taxonomy". When you do so a plethora of choices pops up on the screen. All one needs to do is take the time to wade through the material and find something that will help them understand this way of classifying questioning strategies.
Today I would like to introduce you to a web page called Kathy Schrock's Guide to Everything - Bloomin' Apps. On this webpage you will find many different ways to look at Bloom's Taxonomy. Many of the presentations here can be downloaded and made into posters that can be placed on the walls of classrooms. Two presentations that really caught my eye are lists of apps set up in a Symbaloo type of lay out that gives you app choices for different elements of each level of Bloom's. One presentation is set up specifically for iPad use, while the second is set up completely with web 2.0 suggestions. This would help us meet iPad implementation, web 2.0 implementation, and Bloom's implementation (killing 3 birds with one stone).
