The ideas presented in Bloom's levels of thinking easily relate to technology in many aspects. This article by Andrew Churches highlights the comparisons and uses of technology when applying them to the Bloom model of thinking. The levels from least complex to higher are; remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating, creating. Students can remember from various technological forms such asPower Points and YouTube videos. Students can analyze through the ActiVote technology. They can then apply their learning in through searching for information on the Internet and discerning which sources to use. In the eventual "creating" aspect of Bloom's chart a student can use a FlipSnack, Vocaroo, Blog and many other resources to show the creating aspect of this level of thinking.

Basically, any level of thinking can be related to technological education because it plays such an integral in our everyday lives. It is exciting to think that thought expression no longer needs to be limited to a paper and pen but can be evident in the various uses of technology.
