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.
