Bloom's Digital Taxonomy reaction

The reading based on Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy was very interesting. It shows just how far society and education has evolved. Having this tool/guide for helping facilitate our students thinking around the use of technology for more than just entertainment also helps us as educators prepare our students for the real world. One quote that I found to be a good summation of the need for this new tool was, “Bloom's Digital Taxonomy isn't about the tools or technologies rather it is about using these to facilitate learning. Outcomes on rubrics are measured by competence of use and most importantly the quality of the process or product.” By holding our students to just as high standards as when they are writing papers or doing group projects, the use of technology in the classroom can be seen by them, as being more high stakes (designing a blog or creating a Facebook page for a character from a novel) and less trivial (as making a power point presentation).
