Wisemapping:
https://app.wisemapping.com/c/maps/3/try
This is a great interactive site that allows students to map their thoughts, showing connections between ideas. Depending on the usage and implementation designed by the instructor, this tool could fall into analysis, evaluation, or synthesis in Bloom’s Taxonomy. If students are writing an argumentative research paper, I could see them taking notes through Wisemapping and creating essentially their argument in a Wisemap.
Again, depending on the implementation, it could certainly fall into the active level of Dale’s cone of experience. Wisemap users must manipulate their recordings that displays connections, thus being more interactive.
Mindmeister:
Mindmeister is another interacting mind-mapping tool great for classrooms. The website also allows students to take interactive notes, showing connections between ideas. It also lets multiple users collaborate on the same project, which makes it a great feature for project based learning. Assuming students are being asked to use Mindmeister for collaboration and PBL, it would easily fall into the evaluation and synthesis part of Bloom’s, depending on the actual assignment.
I also see it falling into the active level of Dale’s cone of experience. Students have to interact not just with the technology, but also can interact with each other in a collaborative manner.
GoogleForms:

GoogleForms is a great tool for surveying students. It gives instant feedback and is incredibly user-friendly. Depending on the nature of the assignment, GoogleForms could fall into multiple categories from Bloom’s Taxonomy. If students are creating surveys themselves and working with results, then they’d be hitting the synthesis level of Bloom’s.
It also can fall into the active level of Dale’s cone of experience if students are being asked to collaborate and facilitate a survey of their own.
Infogram:
Infogram is a great way to create infographics, which are visual displays of information. Infogram definitely hits synthesis in Bloom’s level of taxonomy. It requires students to really take from multiple sources and create something entirely new and meaningful to the content.
It, therefore, is also in the active level of Dale’s cone of experience.
