Bloom’s Taxonomy and the Digital World Bloom’s Taxonomy, developed in the 1950′s, expresses thinking and learning through a set of concepts that begin with lower order thinking skills (LOTS) and build to higher order thinking skills (HOTS). The initial phraseology of Bloom’s Taxonomy had six levels, beginning with knowledge at the lowest, then progressing through comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The basis for the theory is rather straightforward, a person cannot understand something that he does not remember (know) nor can he/she analyze or apply that knowledge if the person does not understand the material. In education, quality teachers seek to bring their students to the HOTS level of the taxonomy whenever possible. Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, constructed over the last 15 years, turns these words into different phrases. The revised taxonomy begins with the word remembering before moving to understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating.
