These lessons/activities demonstrates the precepts of Bloom’s taxonomy as they affect the three domains of learning quite effectively.

Cognitive: The cognitive ability is tested as students have to use their brain power in thinking creatively in producing their short stories as well as in contributing in intellectual discussions, also, the activities test the minds of students to be original.

Affective: As students participate they grow in feelings and emotional areas

through interacting with diverse students (race,ethnicity,religion,etc) and they benefit from cross cultures experiences as well as get to share their own. These would be reflected in their stories and comments.

Psychomotor: A s students take part, their manual/physical skills will also be strengthen as their eyes would be opened more to all that is at their disposal. They would learn how to navigate the internet competently and different ways to contribute, e.g. publishing stories,

contributing to chats, sending/receiving messages etc.
