1. Digitalizing Bloom’s Taxonomy via
21st Century Technology Tools

2. Workshop Abstract
This workshop will begin with comparing/contrasting Bloom’s
Taxonomy original and revised versions. Next, it will explain the revised
version in detail. Moreover, participants will be exposed to Bloom’s Digital
Taxonomy, which addresses how technologies readily connect to pedagogical
practices across various disciplines.
The facilitator will introduce the following technologies: Animoto,
Blogspot, Camtasia, Edublog, Glogster, Google Drive, Poll Everywhere, Prezi,
QuestGarden, QuizBreak!, Skype, Slideshare, SurveyMonkey, TED, Toondoo,
VoiceThread, Voki, Weebly, Wikispaces, and YouTube.
The technologies can be used in several ways: 1) audio
announcements/homework reminders; 2) audiovisual lectures; 3) content
presentations; 4) course management systems; 5) curriculum webs; 6)
electronic journal writing; 7) formative assessment tools; 8) inquiry-based
learning; 9) quiz reviews; 10) voice/video-based discussion boards; and 11)
video attention-grabbers or content summaries.

3. Content/Format Activities
As time permits, the aforementioned technologies will be introduced in a
workshop format where instructors will actively participate in technology-based
instructional activities. For example, using the Poll Everywhere tool, instructors will
electronically respond to a posed question using their mobile devices (cell phone,
laptop, or tablet). Subsequently, electronic real-time survey results will appear on an
LCD overhead projector screen. Also, instructors will create at least one technology
tool that they can use in their classroom and share their creations at the conclusion
of the workshop. Below are self-created examples of some of the aforementioned
technology tools.
Furthermore, in this workshop, instructors will have an opportunity to
witness what the aforementioned technologies look like in practice. (There's nothing
worst than hearing about a concept, but never seeing it in action! :-)) Most
importantly, they will be able to walk away from this workshop with applicable
knowledge that will assist them in their classrooms. This session will not be a "sit
and get" rather a "make and take" professional development. The facilitator is not
interested in simply feeding the instructors information that they may never use, but
rather offer them an authentic learning experience.

17. Words of Caution
 The technologies explored promote: active and
independent learning; application; creativity; critical
thinking; problem solving; student engagement; and
reflection—not mere comprehension.
 Word of Caution: Soft skills need to be addressed
when technologies are used, e.g., time management
skills. There are countless technologies and
distractions on the internet. If students are not
instructor-guided and/or focused, then tons of
unproductive hours can be spent on the web with no
intellectual gains.
