Bloom's taxonomy

Blooms taxonomy in relation to social media such as blogging and tweeting are related in these social mediums cause individuals to think. We are curious about what our friends are doing in their lives and about getting to know more about their opinions and thoughts on things. On a friend's blog he often posts about things going on in the economy and his ideas about those things. He is doing many of the things in Bloom's taxonomy. He is spreading knowledge, I am comprehending what he is writing and applying it to my life and formulating my opinion of what I have just read. We often don't realize that we are utilizing Bloom's different levels of thinking, and not always do we use them all. I know it's interesting watching my 2 year old son as he grows and see the correlation in the different levels of his own thinking. I think with Bloom's skills we have to just like a pyramid continually widen the lower foundation of skills before we can fully grasp the next. And once we reach the pinnacle, we spend the rest of our lives continually broadening this higher thinking pyramid.
