Blog 1 article

A recent article that I have read  “Technology Integration in the Classroom” talks about the integration of technology in the classroom and the instructive approached for technology in the classroom. Incorporating technology in the classroom can and does help students develop all kinds of skills, from the basic thinking skills to the higher-order critical thinking skills. The article also gives two different instructive approaches for teaching and learning in the classroom; directed instruction and constructivism. Directed instruction is grounded primarily in behaviorist learning theory and the information processing branch of the cognitive learning theories. The constructivist instruction view is evolved from other aspects of the cognitive learning theory. This perspective views learners as actively engaged in making meaning, and teaching with that approach looks for what students can analyze, investigate, share, and build based on what they already know, rather than what facts and skills they can parrot.
