2. Bloom’s Taxonomy is an important tool for teachers to use to focus on a student’s thinking/learning level. By having 6 different levels, this can help teachers to design different tasks, create questions, and give feedback on all of the student’s work. • There are 6 different steps or levels in this type of Taxonomy, Knowing, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Creating, and Evaluating.
