Introduction to Bloom’s Taxonomy

“One area in which higher-order cognitive tasks is receiving significant attention is the domain of multimedia learning,” which has been researched extensively (Lusk, Evans, Jeffrey, Palmer, Wikstrom, & Doolittle, 2009, p. 637). As a result, learners must attend to multiple forms of media, create conceptual knowledge representations and integrate these knowledge representations in order to learn and build effective mental models (Lusk, Evans, Jeffrey, Palmer, Wikstrom, & Doolittle, 2009). Primarily, the effectiveness of various principles depends on both instructional designers, facilitators, and students creating appropriate multimedia learning environments, and culturally diverse learners actively engaging in constructing understanding (Stavredes, 2011). The purpose of LTC blog is to introduce Bloom’s taxonomy in conjunction with technology integration. Moreover, the blog includes audio, visual, text, graphics, and links to appropriate sites to demonstrate Bloom’s taxonomy process and ensure learning objectives are met. Mary
