Overview: The image above is a useful graphic for understanding the component parts of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. This system, based on Bloom's original taxonomy of the 1950's, is one of many systems that have been developed to effectively guide student learning and understanding like the ones described in our first chapter. Each system is particularly relevant to education because they focus on the ways in which students learn, and stress that every learner is unique in some way. Many of the systems also focus on different learning outcomes that are part of Bloom's overall taxonomy. For example, Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences centers on the ways in which students acquire knowledge, while McCarthy's 4MAT system focuses on the mental functions students use to achieve the creation of a product. I highlight how each learning model fits within Bloom's taxonomy in my screencast below.

Big Question: How, and to what extent do various theories of learning and intelligence interact?
Interactive Website: The website I chose is a page from Edutopia.com that has a quiz to assess which of Gardner's Multiple Intelligences a person uses most. This quiz would likely be most useful in a mobile-device enabled classroom, where each student could take the quiz and send the instructor their results. It can be found at the following link: https://www.edutopia.org/multiple-intelligences-assessment
