The Four Different Models of Instruction.


There are four different models of instruction, that one should follow when using technology. These models are mutually beneficial for both the student and the teacher.

The first is Behavioral: It includes the use of software for practice, designed software for skills, and using computer games to reinforce skills learned in class.

The second model is Information-Processing-it includes using webquest, and other tools that are common to web 2.0 to present information to our learners.

The third model is Social Interactive- This is the model that I am msot familiar with, and it involves keeping the lines of communication open between students and teachers. Some reccommended software that will help make communication easy includes: Facebook-Myspace-blogs-email-Twitter accounts-and video conferencing.

The fourth Model is Personal- and it involves the teacher helping the students to form their own personal learning environment.
