It might not reflect the updated version of Bloom's for the 21st century but the SmartNotebook game idea is great and others might find it a useful resource. I did a quick search in SmartExchange hoping to find her lesson but haven't found it yet. However, there are some other lessons there using Bloom's that might be helpful. Remember you have to create an account to download a Smart Notebook lesson from this site.

Blooms Taxonomy
While looking at my Google Reader this morning, I was perusing Larry Ferlazzo's post about the Seinfeld video on YouTube on Bloom's Taxonomy. Very funny :-) YouTube always gives you a list of video suggestions similar to the one you are viewing. Not sure how many links in I went but came across this one:

Smarty Games
Saw this in my Google Reader just a bit a go and had to re-post here. Smarty Games interactive site with educational games like math, counting, money, reading and time. What caught my eye on the original post, InTech Insights, was that Smarty Games is free of ads. So many sites unfortunately are overrun with ads, some of which you would really rather your students never saw. Even the most innocuous ad is distracting for most students. The games are a simple design, but will give your students some extra practice.

Virtual Museums
http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2011/12/5-interesting-virtual-museums-and.html?m=1
This link is an a post from December on Free Technology for Teachers. I have recommended this site before and again I must reiterate what a fabulous resource it is for teachers.
Richard Byrne provides links to just about anything under the sun to use in the classroom. This link to virtual museums is definitely a keeper. He posted this on Twitter the other day and it caught my eye. I think virtual museums give your students that first hand look at authentic items. With budget cuts everywhere, field trips are not high on the priority list. Please checks these out.
