I love the phrase, "climb to a higher level of thought" as a way to describe the use of bloom's taxonomy by educators. I have always been a strong supporter of the use of Bloom's in great classrooms. Encouraging students to acheive those Higher Order Thinking Skills is something I try to encorporate and foster in my classroom on a regular basis.
I feel revived when I look at the new taxonomy. I especially like the change from nouns to verbs when describing the different layers.
When I was first introduced to Bloom's decades ago, we didn't have the technology that we have today. It is so easy to find wonderful sites filled with explanations and ideas so you can successfully and effectively implement Bloom's in your classroom. There is help out there for anyone looking to improve their teaching. There are ideas, lessons and projects to use at every level.
Here are links to the two sites I found the most useful:
