According to Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy developed by Andrew Churches (2009) as an extension of the original Bloom’s Taxonomy, students in this lesson have become creators of knowledge. The main idea of this framework is that students are able to move from lower order thinking skill (LOTS) to higher order thinking skills (HOTS): they first start by remembering the vocabulary of the units seen throughout the unit and then understanding the use of Biteable so as to apply it in the task. In the end, students put everything together to produce new content: A short presentation on hobbies. Students are working at the highest level of the Bloom's digital Taxonomy : “creating”. Creating is the final level of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy and it is concerned with taking various elements and creating a new, coherent product.
The Triple E Framework, developed by Dr. Liz Kolb in 2011, is a framework designed to help educators measure how well they integrate technology tools into instruction and provide ways to help increase its use. This framework is a useful extension of previous technology integration frameworks like SAMR (Puentedura, 2012) and TPACK (Thompson & Mishra, 2007). In contrast, the Triple E Framework focuses more on what students do with technology. The goal of the framework is to ensure that technology use supports student engagement, and then, while engaged, their learning is enhanced and extended by technology. This framework is based on three main components: engagement, enhancement and extension.
Given the fact that the activity is based on an authentic situation, this exercise could motivate students to carry it out, they play an active role. This is very much related to this idea of engagement, one of three components proposed by the framework discussed above. The use of Biteable also scaffolds learning by giving them the chance to create a presentation and share it with others is unthinkable without the use of this tool.
