I had never heard of this before! I thought it was one of those things like our professor has said since the beginning of the semester, if the work is done for you use it. This man along with others did research to come up with a variety of competency requirements for questions and they are published for us and others to see and use. Most teachers only asked and assessed the lowest type of knowledge questions, but a better way to assess people is to ask questions that apply knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. This creates an environment that is not boring for students, rather fun and challenging. I will absolutely use this in the future!
I learned this week that pitures are had to put into the taskstream. I tried to scan, download for a digital camera, and I still cannot get it! But I really liked the inspiration 8 program and will plan to use that and Bloom's Taxonomy.

I really enjoyed using Inspiration as well. I didn't want to stop playing around with mine! Being very visual I can even see how this would be helpful to organize my thoughts at the college level. I make maps similar to those by hand, but it was much more fun on the computer!
I have heard of it but never knew what it consisted of. This is good information to at least take into consideration though, especially since we are going into the teaching field. It is good to know that there are many levels of understanding info. It's sad to know that tests mainly only target one form.
I'm on your boat! I've never heard of it either. Just like you, I plan on using this in my classroom. This will be something really helpful, and FREE!
