With continuous developments in digital educational technology, it may be tempting for educators to
use some of those technologies in their practices for the sake of it, like as a tick box exercise, without
much thought about how best such technologies can fit with the different pedagogies. This can
especially be the case when professional development reviews identify one of the areas needing
development as the lack of usage of technology in teaching practice. The role of digital educational
technology is to enhance or support the learning and teaching processes. Technology is not meant to
replace the educators, but to extend their capabilities in facilitating learning. As such, pedagogy should
remain at the centre of every learning activity with the aim to achieve learning outcomes in each of
such activities. This paper is on mapping the various digital technologies to different learning
pedagogies in order to help inform educators on the choice of digital technologies to employ in their
learning activities, in a way that addresses their pedagogical approaches. The mapping hinges on the
revised version (2001) of Bloom's taxonomy [1] to ensure that all levels of learning are represented.
