How to integrate Bloom's Taxonomy of apps into the classroom: Bloom's Taxonomy is by no means the best or only way to categorize websites, apps or other educational tools. However, I often find that for my purposes, it is a really nice way to organize tools so that I can find them later. It also keeps me (and my students) thinking about the learning process and keeps us all from getting stuck in a one-type-of-learning rut. Bloom's is also extraordinarily handy for categorizing apps that don't fit neatly into a subject matter or that fall into several different subject categories. In the apps, I have given you a little guide. If an app cost money, I've added a $$ on the app. The others are free. The free apps are just as wonderful as some of the paid!

Verbs commonly used to describe this phase include interpreting; restating, retelling, summarizing, inferring, generalizing, comparing, rephrasing, translating, reporting, clarifying, and paraphrasing. Understanding apps step away from the selection of a "right" answer and introduce a more open-ended format for students to summarize content and translate meaning. SWEET
