THE DIGITAL ERA & THE GAMES GENERATIONThe main cognitive styles observed in the Games Generations raise a number of important challenges for education, training and business in general
Bloom’s Taxonomy & ICT tools
Bloom’s Taxonomy should not be viewed as a hierarchy, as it was in the 1950′s, but as a dynamic learning process

KOLB’S LEARNING CYCLEDavid Kolb published his learning styles model in 1984 from which he developed his learning style inventory.
Kolb's experiential learning theory works on two levels: a four stage cycle of learning and four separate learning styles. Much of Kolb’s theory is concerned with the learner’s internal cognitive processes.
Kolb states that learning involves the acquisition of abstract concepts that can be applied flexibly in a range of situations. In Kolb’s theory, the impetus for the development of new concepts is provided by new experiences.
“Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” (David A. Kolb, 1984).
