Bloom's Taxonomy meets Google Applications: Thank you Kathy Schrock!

Here is another thoughtful and interesting project from Kathy Schrock.  The graphic is interactive. Click the Google App image and you'll open the Google tool.

Just thinking about how these Technologies relate to the levels of Blooms Taxonomy is a step in the right direction. What is the right direction? How do we engage today's learners? 

Answer: Use modern technology for enhanced critical thinking.
