 * Recognize where question verbs fit into the Bloom's scale
 * Identify the Six Hats (roles) identified by Dr de Bono (wikipedia link)
 * Consider the Meteri Group's Range of Use chart when creating assignments/projects
 * Identify some Web 2.0 tools that help teachers reach the high cognitive domains of Bloom's

=Assumptions:=
 * There are experts in the room
 * We are all learning
 * We can learn from each other
 * It's OK to (politely) question or disagree

=Agenda= =Summary=
 * ==Introductions==
 * ==Bloom's Taxonomy > ==
 * What do we already know about Bloom's Taxonomy?
 * Diigo list of Bloom's Taxonomy sites
 * What is it? (Knowledge/Remembering level)
 * What is the difference between the old and new versions? (Comprehension/Understanding level)
 * Recognizing our Place(s) in Bloom's
 * What kinds of questions do you most often ask on your tests? (Knowledge/Remembering level)
 * Thinking about higher levels
 * As you look at the kinds of questions in the higher levels, what are your thoughts?
 * What are some benefits of modeling tests and questions after these levels?
 * What are some issues involved with using those types of questions?
 * Where do the above questions fall on the Bloom's scale?
 * Discussion
 * What are the six domains in the Bloom's Taxonomy? (Knowledge/Remembering)
 * Describe what is meant by the Application, or Applying level (Comprehension/Understanding)
 * How would your tests appear differently if they moved up from the Remembering and Understanding levels to the Applying or Analyzing levels (Applying)
 * Give an example of a question in your subject area which reaches the Evaluating level. Defend your answer. (?)
 * If I were to ask you to evaluate the questions on an upcoming test and rate them for where they fall in the Bloom's scale, what kind of activity would that be? Meaning, what level of Bloom's scale would that activity reach?
 * If I were to ask you to create an informational video/commercial (using Photo Story or Movie Maker or whatever application(s) you wish to use), what level of the New Bloom's does that reach? What other kinds of activities would make it even better?
 * Debate - What levels of the Bloom's scale does this tool reach? Why?
