instructional events

teaching methods and learning experiences created to support the learning process

communication cycle

teacher sends a message, student receives the message, teacher checks for understanding based upon feedback

kinesthetic

learn best by doing

cognitive styles

describe learning as a result of a mental operation.. each of us has personal preferences to how we interpret events. cognitive styles describe out preferred methods for learning

intelligence

the inherent ability to understand, can be limited and culturally and socially biased

multiple intelligences

IQ tests cannot accurately show intelligence.. different test and or instructional activities are needed for different types of learners

psychological variables

the ways in which one things and feels toward a topic which can bias the learning about that to

environmental variables

such as comfort level affect a learner's ability to concentrate and engage

personal filters

preconceived notions about a topic that affect a learner's ability to absorb and synthesize new information

why use technology?

we can minimize the negative effects and emphasize the positive effects of the various learning styles and the learning perspective to enhance communication and ultimately learning

three most perspectives on learning

behaviorist, cognitivist, and constructivist

behaviorist

view behavior as responses to stimuli - positive, negative, no reinforcement

cognitivists

learning is a mental operation that takes place through the senses, enters mental manipulation, is stored and used. cognitivists say that learning can be understood through the specific method

constructivist

believe knowledge is unique to the one who constructs it - knowledge is bulit upon what is learned before

social constructivism

knowledge is created by building upon the knowledge of others in a collaborative setting. this relates heavily to our course because the improved collaborative tools technology offers allow learners to learn by social constructivism

method to implement all aspects of the learning environment
- do not plan or design around technology, it should be part of your ACT

DID

- a process by which teachers evaluate their own work and change it as needed

formative feedback

assistive output

screen readers

TESOL

scaffolding

provide support for learners by moving them beyond their starting points

hardware

physical pieces of computer equipment or technology

software

programs and instructions that must be computed

input devices

any computer hardware that you manipulate to give information to the computer - mice, keyboard, joysticks

output devices

any computer hardware that gives information back to you after it has been computer - monitor, printer

CPU

central processing unit - takes instructions from the input and computes them to create the output - the software is stored in memory

megahertz/gigahertz

measure operations per clock cycle - CPU speed

RAM

short term memory - Random access memory - consists of chips that use electricity to store data - loses all when the computer is off

Long term memory

is stored on disk drives or flash memory - floppy disks, CDs, usb flash drives

motherboard

circuit board that connects CPU, memory, drives and other peripherals

BIOS

basic input/output systems - memory chip on the motherboard that contains instructions for getting all of the components to work together

POST

power on self test - bios runs this to check the components - when complete it boots the computer's operating system

operating system

microsoft windows, mac OS X - group of programs that tells the computers hardware how to function

GUI

graphical user interface - OS uses menus, commands, and icons to run which relies on graphics to work properly
