Level 3 of Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy is Applying. Anderson and Krathwohl define applying as follows: “carrying out or using a procedure through executing or implementing. Applying is related and refers to situations where learned material is used through products like models, presentations, interviews and simulations.” Andrew Churches’s edorigami lists applying key verbs as implementing, carrying out, using, executing, running, loading, playing, operating, hacking, uploading, sharing and editing.
