Blooms Taxonomy connect with technology

In the classroom I find it very easy and natural for myself to focus on the first three steps of Bloom's Taxonomy. It just the the basic building blocks of the information I am presenting. Where I find that I have to put more thought in is how I want my students to demonstrate their analysis, move on to the synthesis and finally how it is going to be evaluated.

I find that I get wrapped up in all that the district is asking of me and I fight to find a creative way to present what my students need to be learning but still have them value all that they are learning.

I think that the last three levels of the Bloom's Taxonomy can really be where the students take ownership of their learning and I am constantly amazed at ways they can demonstrate it once I am looking for their synthesis and in their evaluation take it a step further to ask what would they change about how the demonstrated it and if they still have questions or there are missing pieces in their understanding.

In my own learning I need visuals. My mind wonders quickly so keeping engaged is something that is a bit of a battle for me. I look forward to being able to take what I am learning and applying it because it makes me realize what I need to know more about or what I am ready to take and make my own.

I don't know if I can beat the creativity of the Bloom's Taxonomy According to Seinfeld. I actually sent the link to my principal and asked her to please use it in a future PD.

Here are a couple of creative sources I found.
