"So I think Bloom's is like a beehive. The student is the bee and enters at Create. That bee flies up, down, and around the hive to complete the assignment, and leaves as it finishes the creation of the assignment. The beehive is big enough to handle all the information that a student needs. Schoolwork should be like the hive. The assignment is general enough like a research paper but all those bees will create in their own way. So inside the hive there are lots of combs instead of one worksheet and one answer. To take the metaphor all the way home, sources are like the flowers. Students have a wealth to choose from to create. And honey, is good for everyone."

"The first part of an assessment design is the most obvious; the student performance, or more simply referred to as the activity. This requires a student to show the teacher what they know or can do. The second part assessment design is often assumed or omitted; however, this part of the assessment is critical to optimizing alignment to the objectives, and provides valuable support towards student success. This critical component is the grading plan or better named the feedback criteria. As a teacher, we need to effectively communicate to our learners both a description of how they will perform an assessment activity as well as a description of how we will judge the quality of their performance. Are you planning and communicating your feedback criteria? The Blended and Online Assessment Taxonomy Infographic presents types of activities that suit various levels of assessment as well as grading and feedback criteria which will help you plan better assessments."
