Bloom's Digital Taxonomy

Like the previous version's of Bloom's taxonomies, it's the quality of the action or process that defines the cognitive level, rather than the action or process itself. Despite its name, Bloom's Digital Taxonomy is not about tools and technologies. It is not the medium that is important; instead, it is about using these tools to achieve, recall, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and collaborate.

Collaboration has increased its influence on learning because it is essential in the 21st Century. It's not an integral part of the learning process but it enhances it, and it prepares students for the 21st Century workforce. According to Google, communication skills and working together as a team are two of the most important job traits or abilities of 21st Century employees.

These skills can be learned and developed by using technologies in the classroom such as:

• classroom blogs


• Google docs


• social networks


• Skype


• learning management systems such as Blackboard


• And many more

Blogs, social networks, as well as bookmarking and searching are also all examples of using technology to aid remembering and understanding. When used correctly, technologies can enhance any learning process.
