016: The 3 Fundamental Theories of Educational Technology (EdTech)

For the second episode of EdTech September, Nicole introduces listeners to 3 of the fundamental theories of learning that fuel Educational Technology (EdTech): Behaviorism, Constructivism, and Constructionism. Understanding the theories of Behaviorism, Constructivism, and Constructionism helps us craft educational software that learners actually LEARN with. But perhaps more importantly, it can help you better understand TODAY how to better direct your learning, by being aware of the manner by which it's happening. EdTech September brings together for LVEC listeners key topics in the field of Educational Technology (EdTech). As a new web developer, you need to know how you learn most successfully, so you can apply that approach to everything you need to learn in the future. You also need to know how and where to best apply your tech skills in the Web Development industry. EdTech September involves both of these topics, by helping students understand their career opportunities in EdTech, and forming a deeper connection between learner and learning style.
