This slideshow presents an updated way of looking at Bloom's Taxonomy. The only change is the elimination of Synthesis? And the addition of Creation? I'm not seeing a major benefit here. My own modification seems just as good; I simply add a higher category: Implications and Ramifications. I think the Synthesis step is essential, and use it much the way this change uses create: combine etc. The other page, the flower/star illustration, is too crowded to be helpful.
