• Chapter 11: Audiovisual Technologies

For both audio and visual technologies, identify one traditional and one emerging technology from the book, and explain how you could potentially use all four devices in the classroom. Post your responses on your blog page you created for this class.
Helpful Hints

- You do not need to use all four at once within the classroom. Just say how you could possibly use all four.
- Make sure to proof your posts for correct spelling and grammar. You will lose points for pervasive errors.
- Have fun and be creative with the possible ways you could use these different technologies!!

Theoretical Foundations

Read Chapter 2 of your textbook. It covers the behaviorist, cognitivist and constructivist theories.  Think back to your K-12 days as a student – select one of the teachers you had in the area you plan to teach in the future.  (Example – if you are going to be a middle school teacher, select one of your previous middle school teachers; if you are going to be a high school math teacher, select one of your previous high school math teachers)

Which of these theories did that teacher use?   Give an example of a class experience that demonstrates the teacher using that theory.  Will you use this theory in your classroom?  Why or why not?  Provide criteria/support for your choice.
