Bloom's is Booming

There has been so much talk about Bloom's taxonomy lately... changes to the original Bloom's hierarchy.. and a digital version as well. I wanted to show you all what I have found.

First, Mike Fisher's digital Bloom's. I think this is an interesting display of applying Web 2.0 to the original Bloom's taxonomy. See this link:

I am hoping that Mr. Fisher links each element of his diagram to the Web 2.0 application. Some of them I don't know or don't recognize yet.

Next, Tech & Learning just published an article by Andrew Churches (April 1, 2008) called "Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally." Mr. Churches provides a discussion of the original Bloom's and compares it to the Revised Bloom's developed by Lorin Anderson in 2001. The discussion includes current social networking applications, searching (googling), blogging, and other current Web 2.0 features. Here is the link to this interesting Bloom's revision:
