Ashley's Comments:

Hey Ladies! Thanks for meeting yesterday at Panera Bread to discuss our final group projects. We are a great team! Remember to have you draft posted by tonight at some point. Also, begin commenting. I will post the first draft Wednesday night! Good luck!

Ashley (Group Leader, Cognitivist)
Michelle (Behaviorism)
Valerie (Social Constructivism)
Tina (Constructivist)

Thanks Ashley.

Fabulous job, Tina! This will be easy for me to work with for our final draft. I modeled mine closely to yours to make it easier! Your the best!

Rough Draft Responses:

Ashley you did a wonderful job. Yes, we have a fantastic group of girls in our group. I am very proud to be a part of this group. Everyone attacked their part and it helped all of us to really understand each part. Ashley you did a great job. It is not easy being the group leader. Look at the green underlined sentences and see if you can fix them. It says they are fragmented. Other than that I think it looks great. I believe the format helped each of us to see the similarities and differences better. Thanks for being the team leader. Tina

Hey Tina.... those are not fragments. At least I don't think, that is where I over-corrected the AUTOFORMAT on WORD and it does not LIKE that I did that! So, it is recognizing it as a mistake. Hope that makes sense???

Okay just checking.It makes sense. Thanks. Tina

Do I need to post this again as DRAFT, since I already did once??? I am unsure on how to do this. Our draft is due today!
Let me know what you think!
Ashley

I like Valerie's suggestions.I think our discussion are what she wants and then post the draft as our final if everyone has responded positively. I think it does compare and contrast each of the theories. I think it is organized and detailed. Tina

Post it under the Discussion Board under the Learning Theories Thread. Tina

I believe he believed children learn through constructing knowledge however it also depends on the stage of development they are in. Does that make sense. Tina


Ashley,
You did a great job. I think the rough draft is good. Are you going to put it in order from behavorism, cognitivism, constructivisim and social constructivism. I think that is a good progression. It shows how education has progressed for the better. Even though we use some of these, however I believe most of us in this group use constructivism and social constructivism. Thanks again for a job well done.
I too am going to start my lesson plan on Monday. My student teacher will take over on Monday so I am going to work on this project and three more assignments and I am done. Tina


Hey Ladies! This is going to be the final post if you all do not object. It seems as though you all like it.... this is the working draft that I first posted, then went back and put together another "working draft for April 2nd for "the official assignment"! Let me know if this ok. Also, I am not 100 % positive on what I am supposed to do on the Lesson Plan assignment if you all have an starter thoughts feel free to start posting. :)
Thanks for all your help. Couldn't have done it w/o you!


Ashley,
You did a great job. I like the way each theory follows the same format. I think each question was answered thoughtfully and thoroughly. I believe each theory is explained so we can understand it. Looks good. Tina


Michelle's Comments:

Tina:

Excellent Job! You did a wonderful job defining and then outlining the constructivist theory. I feel this information will be easy for Ashley to format into a final draft. I am going to go in and revise mine so my changes and revision are there for her.

Valerie's Comments:


I agree with Michelle, I'm going to format mine a little differently. I'm a little confused on the cons of constructivism. I didn't think there was that much lecture or one way communication involved. Are there rote learning styles used in constructivism as well?

No that was a con for using the computer for a one-way conversation tool instead of like e-mail or communicating back and forth instead of a lecture. Tina

Thanks! Valerie
