Bloom's level: Understanding
Discover Together
A Tinybot that asks questions instead of explaining, letting students work out the connections for themselves. It encourages them to explain the topic in their own words and link it to what they already know. Works well alongside a textbook or a subject text.
What it's good for
- Deeper understanding of a topic
- Independent study and discovery
- Working with a textbook or other sources
- Going beyond what was covered in class
- Finding connections between concepts
- Short inquiry-based activities
Not suitable for: quick knowledge checks, grading, or rote practice and drills.

11 Tinybots. One for every stage of learning.
To make them easier to navigate, we’ve grouped the Tinybots into categories based on the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. The flower diagram shows the cognitive levels, named at the bottom of the image, with the individual Tinybots branching out from them at the top. The categories help Tiny set the right learning goals and assessment criteria, which we then use to give you and your students feedback on each conversation.
