Prompt #2

Bloom's Taxonomy is a crucial template that all educators should keep in mind while teaching students. Bloom identifies three domains of educational activities, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. I believe that his cognitive taxonomy is the most basic, but most important of the three and serves as a guide to the way humans learn. The six categories to go along with cognitive thinking are knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. All individuals learn and understand at their own rates and in different ways but the process of thinking and influencing the brain is always the same. Everyone has to be able to know, understand, and apply a concept to successfully have learned it.
The way that students learn and become engaged in lesson are constantly changing throughout the years, especially due to the exponential advancements our world has made with technology. It is our job as teachers to adapt with the changing world to make sure that the way we teach fits with the way students learn. No matter where the world takes us, the brain will always process information as long as its presented in an effective way, therefore, the basic taxonomy that Bloom put together will never become obsolete.

Reflection
As I previously stated, I believe strongly in Bloom's taxonomy, even in the more digital classroom that we have nowadays. I will continue to remember the basic components of cognitive thinking and apply them to my classroom so that my students learn effectively.
