As a first year education student, I have listened to several classroom discussions focusing on the teaching styles of behaviorism vs constructivism and how and when we should effectively implement technology along with our curriculum.
My primary education consisted of behaviorism teaching with plenty of reinforcement, repetition with a pencil and paper. Yes, computer technology was not publicly available in the 1970's & 1980"s. As an undergraduate, I have been cautioned that I will revert to "old school" behaviorism style teaching as an educator. I would like to debate this common belief that I will be a behaviorist teacher and why I embrace the importance of embedding technology into project-based learning.
