Higher Order Thinking

I have loved the idea that is being pushed in education that we have our students to work at higher levels of thinking. I was familiar with Bloom's  original Taxonomy and tried as a new teacher to have my students reach the higher thinking levels. When I began my work as an academic librarian I discovered that Bloom's had been revised in 2002 and I liked the changes.
I then went back to work in a school district and was introduced to Webb's Depth of Knowledge. I have used it often since then and I have seen it not only benefit my teaching but help my students understand why we work to reach those higher levels f thinking.
