Creating

There are many Web 2.0 applications on the internet today that enable a students to explore their creative side and thus access the highest level of Blooms Taxonomy. Examples of this include Zoho creator which allows people to create database applications incredibly easily and without the training in programming. One of the best ways for a student to learn how applications work is to create one of their own.

Evaluating and Analyising

As a part of Blooms learning, students need to evaluate the information given to them to decide how accurate and relevant it is. Sites such as Reddit are very useful for this as students can vote for which sites they find most useful and start to create a database of ones that they prefer. Reddit also displays the same story from multiple sources so that students can see the differences between them and learn that the same information can be portrayed very differently. This helps them learn to choose their information  and sources carefully.

In this way, we can see that it is possible for learning at the higher levels of Blooms taxonomy to occur easily in Web 2.0.
