Mike Fisher, an instructional coach and education consultant, has created an interesting wiki called Visual Blooms. Visual Blooms inserts web resources into the hierarchical categories of Bloom's Taxonomy. Web resources are placed into the categories of remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. For example, Delicious is placed in the remembering category while VoiceThread is placed in the creating category.
Thanks to Beth Still for sharing the link to Visual Blooms on Twitter.
Applications for Education
Visual Blooms could be an excellent resource for teachers who are looking for web resources that can be used to address the needs of Bloom's Taxonomy.

Cool share!!! Thanks.
I see this a lot now, but the one problem I have with it is that the pyramid gives the impression that each tool is locked into it's Bloom category. For example, if students create a Voicethread, it's create, but if a teacher uses it for students to match vocabulary words to pictures, than it's remember. Or going the opposite way, Diigo is remembering, but with the ability to leave comments on web sites, it could also be analyzing. So it's a good visual, but more flexible than it appears.
Just to let you know, I was the first person to post the image on Twitter--Beth RT'd my tweet! ;)
