Hi judy,
You wrote that 'exposing ourselves to new information is not the end of 
the journey.' I learned about blooms pyramid from an equine website but 
I can't find the link. It is very useful, or essential I would say. A 
lot of people make the mistake of believing anything a more experience 
person tells them without testing or evaluating. One of the drawbacks 
to being brought up to be obedient rather than an independant thinker. 
Also it eliminates the hard work. Even the best make mistakes and are 
still learning.

The pyramid

LEVEL           WORDS
Evaluation.....Judge appraise evaluate compare
Synthesis......design organise formulate propose
Analysis.......distinguish calculate test inspect
Application....use demonstrate illustrate practice
Comprehension..desribe explain discuss recognise
Knowledge......define list name recall record

New information goes in at the bottom and is processed to the top. I 
currently have a backlog at the bottom and very little at the top. It 
is a slow process.
