Post #5 – Read about the application of Bloom’s taxonomy to the digital world in Chapter 1 of Technology Applications for the Digital Classroom. Evaluate whether you believe Bloom’s taxonomy is a perfect fit for teaching and learning in the 21st century, as the author contends, or if you believe it is an outdated taxonomy for the digital classroom.

I feel that Bloom's Taxonomy can be used in any form thinking skills, no matter if it's new technology or some other subject for learning that is not yet studied in school. I am a big believer in backwards planning. Using this method, and Bloom's Taxonomy together, I can better teach my students how to create independently using digital media. I use digital media every day in my classroom. Though I am primarily project-based right now, I would like to redesign my curriculum where I take into account tried and true methods such as Bloom's Taxonomy. With the project-based classroom I have right now, I feel that I jump straight to creating. This results in students missing the lower order thinking. As a result, they don't have a strong grasp into the where, when, why, and how of the materials that they learn. I feel that they would comprehend more and know more if they had more of a foundation as to what all this means, where it will take them, why they are doing this, and how to use it.
Digital media can be used to enhance reaching all the levels of thinking in other subject matters as well. Many teachers use digital media, sometimes without knowing. If a teacher were to revert back to classrooms as the were 20 years ago, their teaching methods would change. But even though their teaching methods would change, the students' order of thinking would not change.
