This document discusses Bloom's Taxonomy and how it can be applied to CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) lessons. It provides: 1) An overview of Bloom's original Taxonomy from 1956 categorizing different levels of thinking skills from lower to higher order. 2) Details on how Bloom's Taxonomy was revised in 2000 to update the thinking skill levels. 3) Examples of how different digital tools can be used to engage students at each level of thinking based on Bloom's revised Digital Taxonomy.
