Social annotation aligns with Bloom's Taxonomy by promoting higher-order thinking skills. The process described by Chen & Chiu (2008) encourages students to analyze rhetorical choices (Remember, analyze is a higher-order skill in Bloom's revised taxonomy), evaluate evidence, and potentially synthesize information before discussions. Additionally, encountering multiple perspectives through social affordances (Solmaz, 2021) fosters critical thinking (another higher-order skill). This explains why students report deeper learning compared to traditional discussions (d'Entremont & Eyking, 2021).
