In the first couple years after the turn of the century, the internet evolved into Web 2.0. Static web pages for consuming information turned to interactive experiences. Content became user generated and this brought us the behemoth that is social media. At smartphone’s entrance, internet became mobile.

While Web 2.0 is still very much alive, we are seeing the beginnings of another internet evolution—what is called Web 3.0. Another popular term for it is Semantic Web. In Web 3.0, data will be connected across platforms, devices, companies, countries, and other community boundaries.

[su_dropcap style=”simple” size=”4″]W[/su_dropcap]hen your company, organization, or community has a big, rather vague problem that threatens your operations and future, how do you go about attempting to solve it?

Enter design thinking, a useful methodology to help you find the solution to complex problems. Depending on who you talk to and what type of design thinking they use, there can be anywhere from three to seven phases of the methodology. In this article, we’ll briefly introduce you to five stages of design thinking.

At its core, however, is human need. Understanding what the need is, reframing the problem in a human-centric way, brainstorm numerous options, and getting down and dirty in prototyping and testing.

[su_dropcap style=”simple” size=”4″]H[/su_dropcap]ave you ever wondered about how educators design the education system? Surely there must be a structural method of distinguishing the process of cognitive learning in young minds. One such framework is the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, also known in the education world as Bloom’s Taxonomy, because it was founded by Benjamin Bloom, along with Max Englehart, Edward Furst, Walter Hill, and David Krathwohl, in 1956.

Bloom’s Taxonomy has been applied to education systems from kindergarten all the way to university curriculum. It consists of six major categories. The first is Knowledge. Being the first, Knowledge is considered a must before the following categories: Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation. Sometimes, you’ll see a pyramid structure of the taxonomy, with Knowledge, Comprehension, and Application at the bottom. This is because some users of Bloom’s Taxonomy consider those three categories lower level learning, with the other three categories of Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation being higher level skills.
