5. Historical record For more info:
Bloom's Taxonomy was created in 1956 under the leadership of educational psychologist Dr Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking in education, such as analyzing and evaluating concepts, processes, procedures, and principles, rather than just remembering facts (rote learning). It is most often used when designing educational, training, and learning processes.

7. Define the term ‘smartphone, analysing and evaluating the benefits that owning such a device may bring to a student.
The L.A. Times recently reported on a decision by the board of education to scale back a plan to provide Ipads to LA students (2013). The board questioned whether the purchase of laptops would not be a better investment.
According to the OUP (2014) a smartphone is ‘a mobile phone that is able to perform many of the functions of a computer, typically having a relatively large screen and an operating system capable of running general-purpose applications.’
An article in the Harvard Business review (2013) summarised data collected from over 1,000 US participants (aged 13-54). It indicated that the majority of time spent on a smartphone was in ‘me-time’ (46% of all interactions). 19% of time was spent socialising and 12% shopping. Preparation for, and accomplishing of activities accounted for only 11% and 7% of interactions with the phone respectively.
The term ‘dumphone’, is often used to indicate that a device is not a smartphone (Longman, 2014), or is a device that ‘lacks the advanced functionality of a smartphone’ (OUP 2013)
While smartphones may offer more power and portability than traditional devices, their productive use is still somewhat in doubt.
