The taxonomy organizes digital actions into levels like remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating, each with tech-based verbs that support specific learning goals.<\/p>\n<p>This means that we can have taxonomies for differentiation and taxonomies for thinking and taxonomies for tasks and assessment\u2013so many possibilities for examining the actual process of thinking, learning, and the application of each.<\/p>\n<p>This leads to cool visuals\u2013<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachthought.com\/critical-thinking\/blooms-poster\/\">Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy posters<\/a><\/strong>, for example.<\/p>\n<p>It can also lead to tools that help to design lessons, units, and assessments\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachthought.com\/critical-thinking\/blooms-taxonomy-verbs\/\"><strong>Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy verbs<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0work well here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>You can get a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherspayteachers.com\/Product\/Blooms-Taxonomy-New-Edition-Digital-Planning-Verbs-Cards-3390758\">ready-for-the-classroom version<\/a>\u00a0of Bloom\u2019s Digital Taxonomy for $6.95.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teachthought.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Digital-Blooms-Taxonomy-Planning-Verbs.png\" alt=\"Digital Blooms Taxonomy Planning Verbs\" class=\"wp-image-88828\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>This kind of framework\u2014merging Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy with digital and social tools\u2014can help teachers make more intentional choices about how students engage with content in modern learning environments. In the graphic below, we\u2019ve organized 126 \u201cpower verbs\u201d commonly associated with digital learning into the familiar levels of Bloom\u2019s: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create. You\u2019ll see verbs like <em>moderate, duplicate, blog, build wikis,<\/em> and <em>podcast<\/em>\u2014all examples of how technology can shape and extend student thinking.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand, though, that these categories aren\u2019t rigid. A single verb could arguably appear at multiple levels depending on the context. <em>Blogging<\/em>, for example, might involve simple recall in one assignment and higher-order synthesis or evaluation in another. That flexibility is part of what makes Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy useful\u2014but also why it\u2019s never a perfect fit.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the value isn\u2019t in getting each verb in exactly the right place. The value is in thinking carefully about the kinds of thinking we\u2019re asking students to do\u2014and how digital tools can deepen or extend that thinking in meaningful ways. Whether or not you use this exact framework, the exercise of connecting cognitive processes to digital tasks is a powerful way to sharpen your planning and better support critical thinking in your classroom.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a tool that can help teachers think about the levels of higher-order thinking that go into these kinds of activities and projects. To be clear, just because a verb is in one category doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t also be used at higher or lower levels of thinking (i.e., appear in other categories of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.teachthought.com\/critical-thinking\/blooms-digital-taxonomy\/\"><strong>Bloom\u2019s Digital Taxonomy<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for a traditional version of Bloom\u2019s verbs?
