Learning and Teaching Theories Concept Map

The learning theories map fits into instructional design by showing the different learning theories and what specific skills they develop.  I believe the use of more technology in the classroom will rely upon the social learning theory and cognitive learning theory more than the behavioral learning theory.  These two learning theories seem tailored for the use of technology, especially the web and all of its resources, because the cognitive theory develops information processing skills and the social learning theory is highly dependent on the learning environment.  Students these days love technology and using the internet, so the ideal learning environment for today’s students is one where technology and the internet are heavily used.  The use of web resources develops cognitive skills, because it requires the processing of large amounts of information rather quickly to develop concepts and link between them.
