Thinking about Thinking

Today we are going to look at higher order thinking and Bloom's taxonomy before we begin searching for outside experts to help us develop our projects. Please reflect on last week's goal#4 and then post your new SMART goal #5

Before you start your reading, I think it's only fair that you start to understand that the kind of work you are doing in this class is difficult intellectually. Why? Well, let's take a look at Bloom's taxonomy, which breaks down intelligence into different categories. Carefully read the 1st domain of cognitive learning only (unless you want to read more) and then answer the six questions below and email me your answers at mr.powhida@gmail.com

Don't post them or add a comment here. Email your answers only.

Copy and Paste the questions into gmail:

1. What is Bloom’s definition of knowledge?
2. How do you define knowledge?
3. Provide an example from school where you demonstrated knowledge?
4. Which of Bloom’s categories of knowledge is the most difficult? How do you know?
5. What category or categories might describe our habit of mind of perspective?
6. Describe which category of knowledge you are required to use in school and explain what you think that means about the school:

When you have finished please begin work on meeting your goal for next week.
