Bloom's Taxonomy relates to technology because in order to use the more complex tools within technology, you have to know the basic functions of technology and how to use it. This is described in the biggest part of the pyramid, the knowledge part. The next level of the pyramid is comprehension. In this section it speaks about translating material so one can understand it fully. Technology can come in to use in many ways in this step. An example can be the different translation programs on computers. The next level is application. In these times we research application and uses for certain things from simply "googling" the word in order to get more information on how something can be used. Analysis can use the same type of technology as used in application. I cant imagine not using the internet to analyze something and really help me grasp a concept. Synthesis occurs within technology. Many different sources can say a variety of things from all different sources, but that is why someone must research to find out which is the most accurate information. Think of how unorganized we would be without technology... The top pier of the pyramid is evaluation. Technology is essential to all of these levels except evaluation. Evaluation should be like the commentary of an essay. It should be reviewing what you have stored in your brain and learned. This level can use certain technologies to help assess what they have learned, but most of this level should be done with reflection. Technology is used for many reasons and blooms taxonomy relates to use of technology.
