Social learning theory and constructivism are the two main theory that i believe is more applicable with the use of technology especially for learning.
social learning theory is concern with how student learn. the environment in which the student is plays an important role. As it relates to technology, the computer labs and the use of the devices that it entails pushes students to learn more. it is my view that when students are taken for the normal environment that they are familiar with, for example, their form room, and is placed in other setting to learn, they do garner more. this drives home my point. also the devices used in technology is not the norm for most schoolers hence, they are more receptive to the information from the technological devices.
One focus of Constructivisim is the important of active involvement of students in constructing knowledge on their own. When technology is used for teaching and learning, students are open to tons of information from the internet and other research entities. They then need to formulate the information in a logical manner to make sense of the information they recieved and to make meaning to themselves.
