They were trivia questions. Learning how to access information and apply it is far more important than pulling up and spitting out trivia information. Bloom's Taxonomy lists the levels of thinking. Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation. Knowledge is basic and Synthesis and Evaluation are higher levels of thinking with the others in between. In education, as a teacher, I planned my lessons to provide learning opportunities that helped students reach the higher levels of thinking.
