2. Introduction
According to Wikipedia “Bloom’s taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education
proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom, who also edited the first volume
of the standard text, Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals.”
“Educators have used Bloom's Taxonomy to plan and deliver instruction for decades. Educators should use
Bloom's Taxonomy and technology integration in concert to ensure that student learning encompasses every
level of Blooms Taxonomy.” (Signal 2012)
“Bloom’s Taxonomy places cognitive skills in a leveled hierarchy that can really help educators to design
objective-based lessons by helping them understand what cognitive skills students need to perform certain
tasks. Integrating Bloom’s Taxonomy with technology into curriculum creates more ways to deliver
information and creates engaging ways for students to interact with that information. Technology also offers
students a variety of methods to show that they have met specific learning objectives.” (Signal 2012).

3. Bloom’s Taxonomy Levels
Evaluation:
Makes judgments about the
value of ideas or materials
Synthesis:
Build structure or pattern from diverse elements;
put parts together to form a whole with emphasis
on creating a new meaning or structure
Analysis:
Separate material or concepts into components parts so that its
organizational structure may be understood, distinguish between
facts and inferences
Application:
Uses a concept in a new situation or uses an abstraction unprompted to
novel situations in the workplace
Comprehension:
Understand the meaning, translation, interpretation, and interpolation
Knowledge:
Recall data, defines, labels and list

6. Connecting Bloom’s Taxonomy Integrating of Technology
Through Visual

According to Bloom’s Taxonomy “Visual learners will be able to recall what they see and will prefer written
instructions. These students are sight readers who enjoy reading silently. Better yet, present information to
them with a video. They will learn by observing and enjoy working with the following:”
 computer graphics
 maps, graphs, charts
 cartoons
 posters
 diagrams
 graphic organizers
 text with a lot of pictures

According to website “Visualizing data - When working with data, students build data literacy as
they collect and explore information in a dynamic inquiry process, using tables and plots to visually
investigate, manipulate and analyze data. As students explore the way data moves through various
plot types, such as Venn, stack, pie and axis, they formulate questions and discover meaning from the
visual representation.”

7. Connecting Bloom’s Taxonomy Integrating of Technology
Through Audio
Bloom’s Taxonomy and the integration of technology through audio can optimize the
learning experience. Learners can retain and recall things they hear and is stored in
their long-term storage. Such examples of audio technology can potentially be:
Audio lectures
Audio files
iTunes or equivalent
Audio books (cd’s, MP3 files)
Cellular capability for conferencing
According to an Oregon State University study in 2004 on Bloom’s
Taxonomy, “Learners’ ability to systematically arrange information is based on the
brain’s ability to prioritize information for retention and retrieval.” Audio technology
in the learning process must be an important consideration, filtering out the things
that need to be included and what needs to be excluded. Extemporaneous
information included in any audio can be a detriment instead of the intended
purpose.

8. Connecting Bloom’s Taxonomy Integrating of Technology
Through Text
The traditional mode of learning throughout the ages has been text or writing.
Whether on cave walls or in the dirt, humankind has used various forms of text in
the process of teaching and learning. In the discussion of Bloom’s Taxonomy and
the integration of technology as it relates to text, there needs to be thoughtful and
innovative ideas to make text relative to the present day of technology. Such
examples can be:
 Online libraries which contain periodicals, reviews, books, and other such
literary methods are accessible via text
 Online textbooks
 Classroom interaction utilizing portals, chat rooms, blogs, email, social
networking cites, etc.
In the age of technology, text will continue to play a key role. The central issue is
how to make traditional method pertinent in the age of technology? How will it
be optimal and accessible for learners? Krathwohl states, “The traditional
methods of learning will continue to be utilized as only as they continue to adapt
and evolve with technology” (2002).

11. Conclusion
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a process of organizing cognitive
skills in a hierarchy, designed to help educators to
develop objective-based lessons. These lessons promotes
the development of cognitive skills that students need to
perform certain tasks, (Signal 2012).
