SAMR/Bloom's in a Technology Classroom

I am still new to this iPad thing, so I haven't had a chance to fully incorporate apps into my classroom.  I have used Keynote and Movie Maker and found it great.  My students enjoy using these programs for presentations and what they have created to demonstrate a concept has been nothing short of amazing.  I found that the kids enjoy the opportunity to be at the level of creativity that these programs allow them to be.   I have also found that these programs also facilitate a variety of learning styles as well.  I am not sure, but I guess these programs will fall into the category of "Creating" in Bloom's and Modification in SAMR.

In regards to a program we use in school, I want to look at Acuity.  This program allows for "Applying", "Understanding", and "Remembering".  I believe that most standardized tests fall within these categories.
