Bloom's Taxonomy is a classification of the learning objectives. It was proposed by an education committee and discussed with a series of conferences for improvement. Its old version has two levels of thinking: basic level: knowledge, comprehension and application; and higher level: analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The big differences between the old version and the new version is the position change of evaluation and synthesis and the replacement of synthesis into creation. One goal of Bloom's Taxonomy is to motivate teachers to focus on helping students to develop from the basic level to the higher level in their thinking and learning.
This 3D version of Bloom's Taxonomy offers teachers visual colored blocks to show the different steps in teaching and learning. Teachers can use this 3D picture to locate the development of students and try to focusing on helping them to move to the higher blocks. With this colorful mouse over blocks, it can be introduced to the advanced level students and they can make fun on these blocks and look for where they are and where they should work hard to move to, which can serve as an interesting and useful tool and a kind of motivation as well.
Besides the 3D picture, this website also offers many recommended resource for people who are interested in it to have a depth view and understanding.
