Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
In the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson and [|David Krathwohl], revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published this- Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001. Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy. They are arranged below in increasing order, from **Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS)** to **Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)**.||  || ||  ||

Bloom's Revised Taxonomy Sub Categories
Each of the categories or taxonomic elements has a number of key verbs associated with it
 * Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS)**
 * **Remembering** - //Recognising, listing, describing, identifying, retrieving, naming, locating, finding//
 * **Understanding** - //Interpreting, Summarising, inferring, paraphrasing, classifying, comparing, explaining, exemplifying//
 * **Applying** - //Implementing, carrying out, using, executing//
 * **Analysing** - //Comparing, organising, deconstructing, Attributing, outlining, finding, structuring, integrating//
 * **Evaluating** - //Checking, hypothesising, critiquing, Experimenting, judging, testing, Detecting, Monitoring//
 * **Creating** - //designing, constructing, planning, producing, inventing, devising, making//
 * Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)**

The elements cover many classroom activities and objectives but they do not address the new objectives presented by the emergence and integration of Information and Communication Technologies in to the classroom and the lives of our students. This revision is fundamentally based on the revised taxonomy proposed by Anderson et al, but is more inclusive of digital technologies and digital cognitive objectives. = Bloom's as a learning process. = Bloom's Taxonomy in its various forms represents the process of learning. It has been simplified in some case like the **Three Story Intellect** (Oliver Wendell Holmes and Art Costa), but it still essentially represents how we learn.

Before we can **understand** a concept we have to **remember** it Before we can **apply** the concept we must **understand** it Before we **analyse** it we must be able to **apply** it Before we can **evaluate** its impact we must have **analysed** it Before we can **create** we must have **remembered, understood, applied, analysed,** and **evaluated**.

Some people may argue about that you do not require some of the stages for each and every task, action or process; some too may argue about the necessity to reach the creation level for all activities. This is the choice of the individual.

=== **Is it important where you start? Must I start with remembering?** === I don't think it is. The learning can start at any point, but inherent in that learning is going to be the prior elements and stages.

== Bloom's Digital Taxonomy and Collaboration. == In the Diagram above, Collaboration is included as a separate element as well as some elements being shared. Collaboration can take many forms (see above) and value of the collaboration can vary hugely. This is often independent of the mechanism used to collaborate. Also collaboration is not an integral part of the learning process for the individual, you don't have to collaborate to learn, but often your learning is enhance by doing so. Collaboration is a 21st Century skill of increasing importance and one that is used throughout the learning process. In some taxonomic levels the collaboration verbs are included as an element of Bloom's Digital taxonomy and in others its is just a mechanism which can be use to facilitate higher order thinking and learning.

**Collaboration is not a 21st Century Skill, it is a 21st Century Essential.** In a recent blog post from the official google blog, Google identified the following as key traits or abilities in 21st Century Employees: “... **communication skills**. Marshalling and understanding the available evidence isn't useful unless you can effectively communicate your conclusions.” “... **team players**. Virtually every project at Google is run by a small team. People need to work well together and perform up to the team's expectations. ” //Source: [] // If we look at UNESCO's publication “ [|The four pillars of Education,] Learning: The Treasure within” Collaboration is a key element of each of the four pillars. ( [] ) [10] So to prepare our students, our teaching should also model collaboration. A vast array of collaborative tools are available; wikis, classroom blogs, collaborative document tools,social networks, learning management systems - Many are available at no cost. If you have not yet tried them, look at: These tools are enablers of collaboration, and therefore enablers of 21st century teaching and learning.
