Chapter 2 Reading Reflection

Three new things I learned in this chapter....
1.  I learned that there are two main theories for technology integration in the classroom, directed instruction and constructivist.
2. Directed instruction, or objectivism, is based on the behaviorist learning theory.  Constructivist has evolved from the cognitive learning theory.
3. I also learned that technology integration in the classroom is based on both the directed instruction model and the constructivist model.
Two connections I have made with my own teaching...
1. I like the idea of using the TIP model to help decide how and if the technology I want to integrate will be beneficial to the students.
2. I also like the idea of using the TIP model to think through the process of integrating technology into lesson plans and units.
One question I have about the material...
1. Are school districts normally supportive of teachers who take it upon themselves to find funding for technology for the classrooms?
