I am a western slope Colorado middle school science teacher looking to increase my knowledge of all things education and technology!

A blog on the Social Learning Theory and how this theory can be applied with technology in the classroom https://t.co/6FXVTTVCEv #6711SM6

This image shows the path one takes with Social Learning Theory. The integration of technology plays a vital role in keeping up-to-date with the content. https://t.co/1CLZ16yHoM #6711SM6

The Social Learning Theory emphasizes learning with peers to enhance self-expression, and boost the self-esteem of students. Here is a peer-reviewed article to check out on this very topic: https://t.co/E2FJgE3QiY

A popular source on the Constructionist Theory. How experience and observation help students learn. #6711SM5 https://t.co/TsHBJ4J4Zh

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

Take a look at this peer-reviewed article on Constructivist Theory. A theory where learning is based on doing. #6711SM5

Cognitive Learning Theory takes on a student-centered approach https://t.co/v09SpPqLeO #6711SM4

[Dr. Maria H. Andersen @busynessgirl]

We have a fantastic webinar tomorrow on Cognitive Learning Theory. If you've never taken a dive into this, it will be an excellent primer into this fascinating field! Please take a break from this truly odd semester and attend! https://t.co/vvv9alDiMa

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

This Cognitive Learning Loop can be used as a visual in the classroom to enhance student learning through comprehension, memory, and application. #6711SM4

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

This blog notes from a behaviorist perspective, "learning is more than just actions." #6711SM3 https://t.co/dAd94GfsHB

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

Want to know if behaviorism is effective in education? This article addresses some ideas and misconceptions about positive reinforcement and how it can be misused. #6711SM3 https://t.co/SADNYwaBX0

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

This site shows how the Behaviorist Theory can be aligned to classrooms and technology. Check out the technology tools teachers can use to implement this theory. #6711SM3 https://t.co/bOtprPnUls

@pzcortez Often times teachers are guilty of having closed midsets to change. This is modeled to students and limits their ability to accept change as well. Taking time to reflect on what's best for kids will be beneficial to educators with fixed mindsets. #6710DB2

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

@katiemishon One way to help ensure students can be independent thinkers is by providing informational videos created by the teacher using a screen recording extension like Screencastify to model how to navigate online and post this on a site such as Google Classroom. #6710DB2

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

@MsChong12 Perhaps when learning the content students are given a traditional approach but when they apply their learning they can use multimedia presentations such as videos, Google platforms, blogging, Prezi... #6710DB2

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

I struggle with how to best monitor my students online with the shift in using technology in the classroom. Primarily student safety. #6710DB2

[Heather Nicholson @heatheravril92]

When a student approaches an assignment with good intention and a positive outlook, they will be more successful than one who has a care-free approach. Changing, "I have to?" To, "I get to!" #6710DB2
