Bloom's Taxonomy....again!
At first glance I think that Bloom's is very intimidating.  However, after a considerable amount of time researching the topic it is quite interesting.  I have finally learned that knowledge means the observation and recall of information; comprehension means understanding the information; applications means using the information to solve problems; analysis means seeing patterns in the information, such as seeing hidden meanings; synthesis means using old ideas to create new ones; and evaluations means the ability to compare and discriminate between different ideas about the information.  I think that it is very hard to accomplish all six competences on one lesson or webquest.  As far as my webquest I tried to seperate my components and see what competency was being used.  For some, I think I confused them. Some in my opinion could be overlapped into others.  However, until now I had not realized the work involved to become a teacher.  I mean with the "higher level of thinking" aspect.  This is one triangle I hope I will never forget.
