Digital Madness!!!

This week I chose to blogg about the article on Bloom's Digital Taxonomy! Wow, let me just begin by saying this shows you how much influence technology has had on our world, and how we evulate each other and realte to each other. I was previously familiar with Bloom's Taxonomy, but had never heard of the digital version until now. I must say that it is reassuring to know that there is a method to the madness. This article shows how the use of technology moves beyond "just games" as some may think it is, and can support a student in any of those areas (evaluation, creating, etc.) through a digitial medium. Our students can still organize and present information, just like they would if they were writing a paper or making a paper board. Except for now, presentations can be made through online measures and planning can be done in digital outlines! I think Bloom's Digital Taxonomy would be a great resource for teachers to use to correlate the use of technology to these higher order skills as well as serve as resource for defending your use of technology to adminstrators. After reading this, I got a better understanding of what parts of the use of technology correleate to what. This makes me better versed in this area and gives me a better understanding of the skills needed to perform any given task. I look forward to trying to make this knoweldge part of my planning.
