"I wasn't aware of the objectivism vs contructivist learning debate where objectivism is behavioral learning while constuctivist is a congnative learning ability. I hadn't heard about John Dewey and his social activism theory before and how he felt that social consciousness was the ultimate aim of all education, learning was useful only in the contet of social experience. I had never even heard of Vygotsky before or the idea of zone of proximal development before either."
For the two things in this chapter that will help me with my teaching, I'd say they were the TIP model for teachers because it helps to define how to use technology effectively in class and the other was the AUP which will help me show my students that research and technology are useful tools that have great consequences for bad behavior with them.
My question is does an AUP actually work? Most kids will do what they want when they want and have there really been any accounts of students not sticking to their signed agreement?
