Learning theories related to Constructivism

Educators use learning theories to support how learning takes place and to implement best practices for teaching. When integrating technologies into the classroom, we use this technology to allow students to achieve learning strategies. Integration strategies have been based on two differing models of learning - directed instruction and constructivism or inquiry-based learning. These models are supported by behaviourism, cognitivism, and construcitivism and will be explored further on this blog. A relatively new learning domain called "connectivism" will also be examined.
