Mike Fisher created this visual representation of Bloom’s taxonomy as a discussion starter. What tools do you use? Which should be investigated? I’ve never tried VoiceThread even though I have had the opportunity to do so several times. I am uncertain as to why it did not capture my imagination; many of the other tools […]
