 Pink’s text discusses the Constructivist theory is great detail. His text defines the uses of this theory in the digital age of society. Chapter 9 discusses in greater detail the Constructivist theory as it relates to technology. //** 
 * // __1. Social Bookmarking__ //**
 * //Social bookmarking is the practice of saving bookmarks to a //**
 * //public Web site and “tagging” them with keywords. Bookmarking, //**
 * //is the practice of saving the address of //****//a Web site you wish to visit in the future on your computer. To //**
 * //create a collection of social bookmarks register with a social //**
 * //bookmarking site, which lets you store bookmarks, add tags of //**
 * //your choice, and designate individual bookmarks as public or //**
 * //private. //****//Visitors to social //****//bookmarking sites can search for resources by keyword, person, //**
 * //or popularity and see the public bookmarks, tags, and classification //**
 * //schemes that registered users have created and saved. //**
 * //Constructivist theory . The constructivist theory focuses on inquiry learning and problem based learning. This type of teachnology requires students to research a topic or an issue using the internet. Students are given a topic and asked to research websites with pertinent information on the given topic. Students are using inquiry to read and research the websites. //**
 * //
 * //<span style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">I would use this type of technology in my classroom to guide research assignments or projects. I would give my students the same topic and have them find as many websites as they could on the topic. They would use the social bookmarking site to store the websites. As a class, we would go through some of the websites and point out key information on the sites regarding the topic. //**

 * // __2. Alpha Smart Keyboards__ are similar to laptop computers but without the ability to surf the internet,play games, or instant message. Smart boards were created with the special needs learner in mind, however presently are used for numerous activities in the regular education setting. Alpha smarts have the ablity to verbally respond for non verbal students. The student types the words they want to speak and press a button while the device verbally speaks to the teacher, other students, or the aid. It has the capability to store assignments that are generated by the teacher and uploaded onto the device. Students are able to complete test, quizzes, and class activitites using their smart board.

Pink’s text describes the self regulated learner as adapting their learning approach to accomplish a given task. Chapter 10 futher explains the concept.//**

It is something that I feel would help them focus more on their writing skills. Most of the time in the computer lab students are distracted by the internet and games on the computer. This makes it difficult to gain their full attention on a writing assignment. //**

 * //<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">Podcasting represents the theory of Multiple Intelligences. It respresents the mode of processing information linguistically. Students who listen to a podcast for instruction have to be sensitive to sounds, language, etc. They must use the auditory mode of processing information. Most podcasts are done with out video so it is imperative the great listening or linguistic ablitiies are applied for interepretation of content. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">I would use this technology in my classroom and post it on a teacher web page for in class lectures. This way parents and absent students could listen to the class lecture to see what was discussed in class. Students who need a review of information discussed during the class lecture may choose to hear the lecture a second time. //**

This type of technology would be very beneficial for visual learners or kinesthetic learners. Visual learners could see pictures or videos while kinesthetic learners could see a videos of various demonstrations. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">In Pinks text, it discusses the learning styles as being important to student learning. It suggests that learning styles are simply learning preferences. They are a preferred style of learning. //**
 * //<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">I would use this in my classroom mainly to so a demonstration or illustrate something being done that may be too complex to visualize. I feel that it would greatly enhance the understanding and interest in difficult teaching concepts. //**

A Digital Story integrates text, audio, photographs, film and video into a usually short 3 to 5 minute presentation that can be posted on a website, blog or even a digital picture frame. Its attraction for educators is that the students produce Digital Stories. Digital Storytelling gives students the ability to create their own stories or their own lives and give interpretations of school assignments. It gives the power of production and creativity, commentary and narration to the students. There is no specific steps to creating a digital story. You can use whatever digital materials you have available. Digital camera //** **// Center for Digital Storytelling //****// : [|www.storycenter.org] //**

Digital Storytelling Resources for Teachers //****// : []. //** Digitial story telling represents the Social constructivist theory. It allows students to create their own learning through exprences gained through social interactions with others. Students may be divided into groups where they must put their ideas together to gives others a clear picture of a concept.

Pink discusses social constructivist theory on p. 371 in the text. //** I would use this to allow students to explore their creativity. They would illustrate their learning or understanding of a story or to create a story and come up with a variety of things to use to illustrate to help others understand what they are discussing. It would in some ways allow them to be the teacher. //**

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">The Kindle is a digital reader that allows you to read books, newspapers, magazines, blogs etc. It is a hand held device that uploads numerous reading materials for your convient viewing. It is digital so it has many capabilities to allow you to enjoy reading your favorite materials without all the clutter. //** <span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;"> Pink discussses cognitive development as being a very important aspect of development. //**

It is mainly focused on reading and the enjoyment of reading tasks. It requires cognitive development to process a certain level of reading. //**

 * //<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light; msobidifontfamily: HelveticaNeue-Light;">

I am not sure if I would use this in my classroom. If the funds were available for each student to have one, I would probably reconsider using it.. It is very pricy. I don’t really think it is feasible considering the cost. //**
