Bloom's Revised Taxonomy has bearing on the knowledge-building activities with which we strive to engage learners. Refer to the previous courses on Designing Learning and Innovative Approaches to Learning with Technology to remind yourself of these core principles of learning.
Bloom's Digital Taxonomy is a very useful extension of the basic taxonomy, which includes reference to specific skills and digital tools typically used when integrating technology with innovative approaches to learning.
