    Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. In 1956, Benjamin Bloom developed the original taxonomy, and in the 1990s Lorin Anderson updated it to reflect 21st century work. The updated version exchanges the top two levels - remembering becomes the lowest level and creating becomes the highest level. Both versions classify learning objectives according to their cognitive complexity, from simple recall or recognition of facts through increasingly more complex and abstract mental levels of understanding, application, analysis, evaluation, and creation.

    Bloom's Taxonomy

    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 psychologists, lead by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom), updated the taxonomy to reflect relevance to 21st century work. The two graphics show the revised and original Taxonomy. Note the change from nouns to verbs associated with each level. Note that the top two levels are essentially exchanged from the traditional to the new version.

    Some very useful sites: Kathy Shrock's "Google Tools to Support Bloom's Revised Taxomy"

    Bloom's Digital Taxonomy by Andrew Churches. This is a greally great site about how to use many different tools to enable or enhance the process of teaching students at the various levels of Bloom. A Model of Learning Objectives. This kind of a neat site created by Rex Heer at ISU that presents a "rolloverable" 3d represententaion of the new 4 X 6 Taxonomy. "Rollovers" pop up simple examples of Learning Objectives. The taxonomy is also explained and links provided for even more useful resources
