If you haven't heard of Sara Kajder, explore her wiki. Was her groupie for the day at the Innovative Learning Environments Conference in Hilliard - a MS/HS/Univ English teacher who is using all kinds of 21st cent skills and technologies with kids. I learned SO much!!!
In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. During the 1990's a new group of cognitive psychologist, lead by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom's), updated the taxonomy reflecting relevance to 21st century work. The graphic is a representation of the NEW verbage associated with the long familiar Bloom's Taxonomy. Note the change from Nouns to Verbs to describe the different levels of the taxonomy.
