Bloom's Taxonomy
• Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives • proposed in 1956 • by a committee of educators • chaired by Benjamin Bloom• who also edited the first volume of the standard text,
Taxonomy of educational objectives: the classification of educational goals• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom’s_taxonomy
