Explore the APPLY cognitive level from Bloom's taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain

Practical Digital Thinking Tools to engage all learners. Supercharge your training workshops and engage your learners with thinking tools, improving critical thinking skills at the same time as the topic being covered. Use specific thinking tools to create a higher level of success, engagement and participation in training sessions, seminars, workshops and meetings.

In this webinar recorded in 2021 with Eric Frangenheim from Rodin Educational Consultancy, explore the APPLY cognitive level from Bloom’s taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain. 

Workbook provided & Tools used - Use the 'Fish Bone Diagram' and 'PROE (Predict, Reason, Observe, Explain)' thinking tools.

Each tool is dealt with twice. The first exercise/activity is completing a tool on a topic chosen. The second exercise/activity is where each participant spends 5 minutes using that thinking tool on a topic of their choice, which they will have established at the start. Practice two thinking tools, the first exercise/activity based on selected topics, and the second exercise/activity to practice by using both thinking tools to suit their own purpose.

Eric's explanation with real examples made a lot of sense to me
The best part was putting into practise with subjects relating to our own interests
This is always brilliant but even more brilliant to redo a few times to really cement in the wealth of learning offered
My head is spinning with possibilities!
I believe these tools could be a very valuable resource for teachers in the VET sector
Will really assist good training delivery
