This document discusses using technology tools in the classroom and how to select appropriate tools based on Bloom's Taxonomy. It provides examples of apps that can be used to support different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, such as flashcards for remembering, Voicethread for understanding, and Animoto for applying. The document also shares resources for finding new apps, like websites from 21st Century Innovations and Kathy Schrock, and recommends tapping your professional learning network for app recommendations. It encourages teachers to have fun with apps too and not just use them for students.
