My thoughts on Bloom’s questioning and resourcing
Based on the Taxonomy of Bloom (Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation), Kathy Schrock (2017) assembled many different kinds of online tools to support Bloom’s revised Taxonomy. (Creating, Evaluating, Analysing, Applying, Understanding and Remembering) Our teacher librarians could use Web 2.0 tools to support students’ learning and teachers’ teaching.
