 * Levels || **Level 1 - Recall**

Activities require the recall of information such as a fact, a definition, following steps in a simple procedure, performing simple calculations, applying a formula, and making measurements. A student answering a Level 1 question either knows the answer or they do not. || **Level 2 – Skill/Concept** Activities require connecting recalled information and making some decisions about problem solving or procedures. Level 2 activities require students to interpret and develop relationships between concepts. || **Level 3 — Strategic Thinking**

Activities require connecting recalled information and making somedecisions about problem solving or procedures. Level 2 activities require students to interpret and develop relationships between concepts. || **Level 4- ExtendedThinking**

Questions require complex reasoning, planning, developing most likely over an extended period of time. (The extended time is not a distinguishing factor if the work is repetitive and does not require applying significant conceptual understanding and higher-order thinking) || From Shari Hill: Another possible resource to consider for information gathering "Using Technology withe Classroom Instruction that Works," Pitler, Hubbell, Kuhn, Malenoski (forward by Marzano - where he talks about Blooms taxonomy as Cognitive Processes and describes how technology can potentially play a role especially supporting the cognitive system by helping students to comprehend, apply and recall concepts) The book was published by McREL. Here is a matrix from the book that integrates the 4 Planning Questions (where we should always start), the 9 Categories of Instructional Strategies, and the 7 Categories of Technology - I think this all fits in with what the Webb is about...
