Definition: Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational learning objectives into six levels of complexity: 1) Remember, 2) Understand, 3) Apply, 4) Analyze, 5) Evaluate, 6) Create.

Application:

Definition: “Gamified learning is a teaching approach that applies game design elements to learning.”

Application: I incorporated Kahoot quizzes with leaderboards and open-source spin-the-wheel generators, which significantly boosted student engagement and added an interactive element to the learning experience.
