Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy is a number of categories which helpss in developing thinking and learning that begins from lower order thinking skills and builds into higher order thinking skills. The initial Bloom’s Taxonomy had six levels begins with knowledge at the lower level then goes through comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. It is adapted to the learning process in the classroom as useful tool in learning.
Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, which is revised by Anderson and Krathwohl, turns the concepts of Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy into different concepts. In Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy, verbs are used rather than nouns begin with remembering moving to understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. There has been a change in the sequence also at level five and six , with evaluating being seen as a lower level to that of creating. It helps students to acquire skills at all of these various levels and to improve critical thinking too.
Bloom’s Taxonomy has a little evident in setting learning objectives in the Saudi EFL classrooms, they don't apply the whole levels in Bloom's Taxonomy. In the class the students may just using the first three levels remembering, understanding and applying but actually they don't concentrate on the other levels , they don't have a chance to analyze and evaluate which result at the end creating creative things. As a future teacher, I would like to use it to the students because it gives them an opportunity to be more creative, to be autonomous learner, and to operate their cognitive skill and of course improve critical thinking.
