I would use powerpoint to support creating because theres a lot of things you could create using powerpoint and a lot of creativity that comes from customizing the individual slides and transitions. Evaluating is something you have to do when you create any powerpoint because you have to evaluate the information you have on every slide. Also the same is with analyzing, you must analyzing any information before putting it on the powerpoint because you have to make sure it is accurate and correct. Applying comes when you present a powerpoint because you have to actually explain the information thats on every slide and apply it to whats being taught in class. Powerpoint helps you understand any subject better because it gives you multiple slides to explain one specific subject. I think that powerpoint is one of the easiest ways to remember facts because you can keep going through the slides which is like repetition. So there are many ways in which powerpoint can support Blooms Taxonomy, and also help students remember the information.
