I am glad that there has been an update to Bloom’s Taxonomy. Many things in the world get looked over as technology advances. I am hoping that this will version will be taught in schools to future educators because it will help them relate better to the students by giving them a better idea of what to expect. Although, I suppose that many new teachers today are digital natives themselves and will relate better to this hierarchy of thinking skills.

The use of verbs instead of nouns was also a change for the better because the use and pursuit of knowledge require action. With the digital age upon us, I no longer feel that learning is a thing but an action.
