"In an effort to help teachers identify apps and Web 2.0 tools that can be used to attain various levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, we have re-constructed the Bloom's Taxonomy Wheel for the iPad with apps that Zeeland students have available on their iPad. In order to leverage the iPad's potential in learning,"
"The visual guide you see below is from Flickr via Kris McElroy's Pinterest board (she shares a lot of fabulous resources so check 'em out!). It details the many critical thinking skills and related questions that you should use."
"It is useful to picture Bloom's taxonomy as a wheel since all stages are not required for every lesson and every lesson does not necessarily lead to "Creating." You can print the "the wheel deal" for your classroom or student notebooks."

"Creative Book Builder is a fantastic app that allows students to create books in epub format, which can then be exported to iBooks and shared with others. There are a variety of instructional uses for this app, from using it as a publishing tool for project-based learning to a summative assessment at the end of a unit. Students can embed images, audio files, video files, and write text. The advantage of an epub document over a PDF document is that all of the media will be preserved and available for readers to interact with when the final product is published.
Depending on how you use Creative Book Builder with students, this app can help students complete tasks that align with every level of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy. Explore the different ways this app can be used at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy."
