A couple of points here - I am sure the authors realise it, but I was struck by the comment about what iLearn skills need to be taught 'prior to students using Web 2.0 tools'. Surely the teaching of such skills must be recursive, and embedded in the facilitation of the activities, not taught in isolation 'prior to' their use.
Secondly, I thought that the definition and elaboration of concepts around 'e' learning was very valuable - being more about engaging, evolving and examining emerging practices.
I think that the Bloom's Digital Taxonomy Map is incredibly valuable - we should all have this stuck up next to our desks or where ever we do our planning/dreaming about how to create learning experiences for our students. Interestingly, I think that something like mind mapping could be classified at just about any level of the taxonomy, depending on the specific nature of the mind map, ie you could ask students to construct a particular form of classification and to justify it through example and analysis.
