This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy In the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson, revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published this- Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001.Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy.

The goal of education in the 21st century is not simply the mastery of content knowledge or use of new technologies.
It is the mastery of the learning process.

When Apple presented iBooks on the iPad on January 27, 2010, I was very excited to see that they had adopted the standard EPUB format. But I especially wanted to know how they had created the beautiful EPUB format of Winnie the Pooh, and how they made it look so lovely on that gorgeous iPad. I decided to write a book on how to create EPUB format ebooks. My book about creating ebooks in EPUB format has garnered rave reviews. EPUB Straight to the Point: Creating ebooks for the Apple iPad and other ereaders was published by Peachpit Press and myself in both print and electronic editions. EPUB Straight to the Point explains how to create ebooks in the standard EPUB format, starting with tools you may already be familiar with: Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign, and how to use either one (not to mention the documents you may already have in those formats) to generate the files necessary for creating an EPUB format ebook.

The 2011 Learning Technology Research Fest, held annually at the CoCo Research Centre in Sydney, was as stimulating and spirited as last year, and this year's roundtable menu featured two sessions on learning interfaces. These roundtables emphasized the general agreement that this area needs special attention and gave some glimpses into the future of learning interfaces...
The first roundtable, "Designing Interfaces for Learning", I hosted together with Catherine Caws from the University of Victoria in Canada, and it drew a crowd of Education designers, researchers, engineers and Web developers. Without a doubt, there's a shared feeling that something drastic needs to change with regard to the interface design of the most commonly used educational software. One delegate suggested that interface design will become the key competitive differentiator among Learning Management Systems in the next few years.

You’ve heard of the digital divide, but how about the app gap? That’s the new term coined by Common Sense Media, which conducted a study looking at the amount of time children under the age of 8 are spending in front of screens. The study found that there is a growing rift between children from wealthier families who spend more time involved in mobile apps and lower-income children who are more involved in traditional TV watching. Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group based in San Francisco, surveyed almost 1,400 parents and found that 47 percent of families with incomes more than $75,000 had downloaded apps for their children, while only 14 percent of families earning less than $30,000 had done so.
