 =Nomenclature= Over time, various people have changed Bloom's taxonomy in a number of different ways. One way turned the names of each type of thinking into verbs while another placed Creating at the top of the chart. This workshop is based on the idea that there are two basic approaches to thinking represented in Bloom's taxonomy. The lower levels of thinking are primarily receptive in nature because the thinker may not even comprehend the facts that are the basis for thoughts. The higher levels of thinking are active because the thinker is doing things with ideas such as analyzing them or creating something new with the ideas, etc. This workshop pulls from information from Bloom's original taxonomy and several variants without differentiating between the original and the adaptations because a major way of engaging students is to provide them opportunities to be active in relation to what they are learning. back to top
