alsoweb blog
an electronic journal kept by a blogger, who regularly updates the journal
(known as blogging). Blogs normally function either as personal diaries or
as news journals, and typically contain a title, a text, and links. The language
used is generally informal. Although blogs are usually kept and maintained
by a single individual they can also serve to facilitate interaction between
the writer and reader. Blogs are used in many ways including for personal
use, in business and in education. They also have potential in second and
foreign language learning, encouraging both reading and writing, promoting
discussion and providing feedback.

a taxonomy of objectives for the cognitive domain (see domain) developed
by the American educationalist, B. S. Bloom, and widely referred to in

to evaluation(which represents higher level thinking). The six levels in
Bloom’s taxonomy are:

Comprehension Interpreting, translating from one medium to
another, describing in one’s own words
Application Problem-solving, applying information to produce
some result
Analysis Subdividing something to show how it is put
