In this blog, a variety of multimedia tools, including, audio, visual, text, and graphics have been used to discuss Bloom's Taxonomy. The discussion included an introduction to Bloom's Taxonomy, as it was originally developed in 1956, and how it was used to categorize learning into three specific domains: Cognitive, Affective, and Psychomotor.
There was also a discussion about how Bloom's pedagogy has been revised and updated several times over the past several decades, and that the latest revisions to the taxonomy are in large part a response to innovations in computer technology and the Internet. Bloom's Digital Taxonomy is a revision of the original pedagogy to
account for 21st technology.
Educators today are combining the elements Bloom's Digital Taxonomy with
Web 2.0 tools and other interactive applications to facilitate
remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and
creating.
Facilitating effective learning is a challenging process. When Web 2.0 tools and other interactive technology are used in concert with instructional strategies that are based on an understanding of how learning occurs (Bloom's Taxonomy), learners are more likely to advance from lower order thinking skills (LOTS) to higher order
thinking skills (HOTS). They are also more likely to persist.
