This document provides an overview of using Web 2.0 tools to engage students at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy. It discusses how Bloom's Taxonomy has been updated to include higher order thinking skills like creating. Various free Web 2.0 tools are presented that can facilitate remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating for students. The presentation aims to demonstrate how digital tools can help apply Bloom's Taxonomy to learning in a technology-enhanced way.

Comparing the focus of the two Bloom’s Taxonomy.
How to two taxonomies are similar and dissimilar
Taking Bloom’s Taxonomy to the next level – the digital world!
Web 2.0 Characteristics – some are free; others are not. Look for ones that are commonly known and used within your environment. What may work for one may not be the best fit for another. Variety is the spice of life.
Just one image of many that illustrate how different Web 2.0 tools can be applied to the different levels within Bloom’s Taxonomy. Some are for students and others are for the instructors while others are for both!
Del.ici.ous – keep a record of favorite website that provide opportunities to engage student’s learning.; bookmarking tooliKeepbookmarks.comDiigo – Bookmarking tool along with highlighting and sticky notes; can be used as a repository for your students as well where you can create groups for your class; accessible on most devices include mobile devices such as iPad and androidEvernote – capture anything, remember anything, available almost everywhere
Bubbl.us – great mindmapping tool, easy to useTwitter – great for forcing students to write in short simple phrases to get their point across, similar to elevator pitchLetterPop – great organizational tool to provide students and instructors the opportunity to design newsletters and publications with vast amounts of data. Creations can be published so that anyone case see it or keep it private so only your specific audience can access it.
Voki – create speaking avatars to enhance your learning tools environment. Scribble Maps – an application that easily draws on maps and then share them with friends. Great for kids and GIS professionals. Screencast-o-matic – one click screen capture recordings on Windows or Mac computers with no install for FREE!
Google Docs…using a gmail account, you have access to google docs where documents can be shared in real time, collaboration truly can occurCreate-a-graph or Glogster – create an infograph or graphic poster for teaching and learning purposesRSOE EDIS : Emergency and Disaster Information Service – a look at real time of emergency or disaster centers currently in effect. Great for teaching health or disaster recovery courses for developing appropriate disaster recover plans
Rcampus/iRubric have many different rubrics that are useful for evaluating student work. Many suggestions are included in the program to augment learning and applying the various concepts that is being taught.Tricider is a social voting tool for teams, blogs, education, crowdsourcing. By placing a question on tricider, you can have students respond (outside of your LMS discussion forum) and have outsiders respond to the question as well. This is a great tool to have many different sources impact the discussion.TodaysMeet creates a simple backchannel and connect with the audience in real time. Great for large lecture environments…instead of twitter with all of the extra tweets, here the comments are directed at the room only. The room can be used to make comments and ask questions. Can be completed on the fly.
Glogster – ability to create a PSA on any topic (or even introduce yourself to each other)VoiceThread – an easy and inexpensive way to get students involved in the discussionMakeBeliefComix – a comical way to create intellectually stunning products to share with others.Prezi – an alternative to PowerPoint. Can do all the same things as PowerPoint but with a twist.
