Apps to Support Bloom's Taxonomy - Android, Google, iPad and Web 2.0

I had seen two great charts Kathy Schrock had made about Apps to Support Bloom's taxonomy. I have seen, and used, the ones for Android and Google. I just found two more on her site: iPad and Web 2.0 Apps. The charts are interactive and include links to apps organized by the category from Bloom: Creating, Evaluating, Analyzing, Applying, Understanding, and Remembering. The iPad and Android charts also have an activity listed under the apps, such as commenting, video creation, etc. These are great starting points to find apps to use with your students based on Bloom's Taxonomy.

Many teachers in many classrooms spend the majority of their time in the basement of the taxonomy, never really addressing or developing the higher order thinking skills that kids need to develop. Rather than starting with knowledge, we start with creating, and eventually discern the knowledge that we need from it.

Here’s what I propose: we flip Bloom’s taxonomy. Creating at the Forefront Related
