I think that each one contributes to the process, none of them form an all encompassing learning theory. The theories work together differently depending on the situation or the learner. Proving that is probably beyond the scope of this class, however!<br /><br />Do you feel that technology has made your job easier as a teacher? Does the technology make it easier for you to formulate lessons? You mentioned the technology that comes with the your new math books, do you use it right out of the box, or do you modify it in some way to meet the needs of your students?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />CurtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430813936383783851.post-4304712642119828122011-12-31T11:59:58.282-08:002011-12-31T11:59:58.282-08:00Hi Debra,

It seems that the advances are faster than our school budget. For example, our reader basal for second grade is so outdated. It continues to refer to the QCCs which have been long replaced by GPSs. Yet, we have new math books that are great, the instruction design matches the Georgia Performance Standards and the technology that comes with it is awesome.<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033453865344786272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430813936383783851.post-47206451361938389552011-12-30T20:22:23.774-08:002011-12-30T20:22:23.774-08:00Sandra,

I have seen a lot of educational programs develop over recent years that place importance on designing the curriculum to address a variety of learning styles. The text books our school adopted several years back included additional tools, technology and manuals that were set up for the teacher to select her/his approach they would like to take in the implementation of the lesson. These type of tools have come a long way over the past 20 years. Have you experienced this new trend I've seen in your recent adoption of text and teacher materials?<br /><br />Debradebbiemorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234790469847745253noreply@blogger.com
