Constructivist Learning Theory exists under the focus of cognitive learning and has substructures of the concepts of self- efficacy, self- regulation, and metacognition as it defines how adults learn (Billings & Halstead, 2012, p. 211). Billings & Halstead (2012) explains that learning is considered a transformation in a person from personal experience. It is a continued process that encompasses understanding, clarifying, and applying meanings of knowledge that is developed. The learning theory, constructivism embraces that learning is a development. A learner constructs new knowledge by building on existing information through a process

In short, the video titled, “Extending Lesson Understanding: Vocabulary Development,” explored the practice of covering vocabulary at the end of the unit rather than the beginning. While this is a rather uncommon practice, the video captured 7th grade English teacher Katie Langlois’ attempt to do so. Langlois utilized the “Jigsaw” strategy and divided her students into heterogeneous groups of four to determine vocabulary words from clues. All of the vocabulary words related to Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address,” which the class previously covered. Each student possessed a clue—the first letter, number of syllables, last letter, and definition—that would help reveal what the vocabulary word in question was. Students had to work together

After watching the video on public education and comparing it to the way education was being presented back then and how it’s being presented now I can pretty much say nothing has really changed in the way education has become available and encouraged to anyone regardless of their social class. From personal experience I have to admit that social class does play a major role on education. Although education is an institution that has become available to anyone regardless of the background I have to acknowledge that not everyone (lower and middle class) has the same opportunity, methods, tools, and means (economically), etc. to be able to have the a similar future then the people that are considered to be a higher class. From my point of view

As we all know, Modern Marvels was about the complexities and history of undergarments. The depth of information this episode pours out was exceptionally interesting to me. This educational video mainly explains the process behind sculpting undergarments people wear. Both genders can get something out of this video. As it explains the role of men’s underwear, women’s bras and panties, and socks.

The video from School A to Z, shares ways to effectively communicate with parents. Communication between the school and family is vital for the success of students. Newsletters, websites, and apps that send information to a large group are effective ways of communicating information but there is still the need for more personal communication. Parents need to feel comfortable communicating with their child’s teacher and the only way to establish that comfort is by establishing lines of communication early. Email, phone calls and face to face conversations are always effective in establishing a positive relationship. Teachers and administrators should make it a point to respond to emails and phone calls promptly, ideally the same day. Talking

Khan Academy aims to educate people by providing helpful notes in form of short videos. He purposes in this video that intelligence can be expanded and changed. He suggests that intelligence is similar to muscles, both can be enhanced by struggling and straining. Khan Academy explains the concept of building and changing our intelligence as we grow up. He strongly believes that high usage of the human brain leads on to better intelligence in general. He discusses some scenarios including models of a human and animal brain that provides valid information on how the neurons in the brain develop depending on the stimulus that is exposed to them. This video is extremely useful because it provides an explanation of how intelligence can be changed.

In the Precision Teaching video (Knatim, 2010) a student presented their writing to a teacher in a secretarial conference. The purpose was for the writer to seek assistance in developing future learning goals by identifying strategies to improve grammar, spelling and punctuation. The secretarial role of the teacher was focused on spelling and punctuation to identify and assess the students understanding and application of known writing strategies. There was a clear focus of providing explicit, direct and positive feedback that empowered the student with a sense of achievement by continuously reinforcing their writing strengths and identifying future learning goals. The role of the student was to identify progress they had made since the last writing conference and to identify their current and future writing needs.

This video segment occurs in a self-contained special education classroom with two children Alec a 9-year-old boy with autism and Tami who will be assisting the teacher. Alec has difficulty with displaying appropriate behavior with his peers. He previously greeted a student by kissing them and he greeted another child by saying, “You are a little boy” which hurt the other child’s feelings. The teacher’s goal for Alex is to teach him socially appropriate ways to communicate with other students and also how to respect their boundaries and personal space.

In the video (Teaching Channel, 2014), one of Ms. Porfirio’s peers mentioned that she was a selfless individual. After watching the video, her caring and compassion for her students was unmistakable. I thought her practice for allowing her students a choice in the way they greet her at the beginning of the day as well as say goodbye at the end of the day was admirable. This action not only creates a safe environment, but also allows for each student to feel empowered by their ability to make their own decision on how they will enter and exit the classroom. I believe through this, the children feel that their opinion is valued, thus creating a more open environment.

“Constructivist instruction, students are encouraged to use their own methods for solving problems. They are not asked to adopt someone else’s thinking but encouraged to refine their own” (Clements&Battista,1990). It has been proven time and time again that when given the opportunity students are able to do incredible things. Sadly, there are teachers that prefer to have all the

There are many different kinds of trains with different speeds and different purposes that we need in order to live our daily lives nowadays. There is a video on “Youtube” that list the most common trains. There is the subway, streetcar, commuter train, inter city train, high speed train, maglev, monorail, cable car, locomotive, freighttrain, and the hand car. All of theses trains are different in what their purpose is and what they do. Some of the trains transport people while other trains transport objects like food, wood and vehicles. All of these trains are different in sizes and speed. We don’t use trains as much as we use to but we still do use trains everyday. Trains are dangerous and we do not always remember that they are dangerous and will kill

“During the next decade, the United States demand for Scientist and Engineers is expected to increase at four times the rate for all other occupations.” Computer Associates Technologies, made this video to support future generations to learn math and science. The public service announcement is effective at convincing the audience to engage into a career from STEM education because CA Technologies has made the video “wishes”, made a video to emphasize the idea of getting a career in the STEM Education before it’s too late. Interest in STEM remains lower in high school upperclassmen than in freshman and sophomores.

The video that I watched was about Blended Learning and what works better in your classroom. there are different strategies may will work in some classes but not work of another classes. the purpose of all these strategies are helping students to be successful. The video define of Blended Learning is the combination of digital content and activity with face to face. Teachers should decide what is appropriate for their students. in addition, the video shows that students engage well with using technology in class but there are some thing students can not find it online for example, classroom time direct, instruction,investigations, and discovery, so students are need to meet their teachers and friends to achieve these. There are alot of face

Travelling on foot for hundreds of miles each day in order to pay for food and shelter for her daughter, she wishes she could do more. Now, her daughter has the chance to be the first in her family with a proper education. Living in a third world country, the majority of people struggle with poor health care, often leading to a high mortality rate, low economic development, high levels of poverty, and heavy dependence on industrialized nations for foods and other goods (Third World). Women in particular suffer - unable to attain the good education they deserve in order to create a better life for themselves. In places like Cambodia and Afghanistan, the culture is such that young girls are married off by their parents at a very young age

The video, "Three Lessons" touched me because I have never thought of death till now. In a good way. It made me want to admire more, and live each day like it's the last, but most importantly, help others succeed and be the best they can ever be. The video touched me emotionally because it made think of the phrase, "Life is a one time offer, use it well." This video also makes me want to help others much more, instead of feeling pity or sorry for them. Next time I see someone who is having a hard time, I'm going to try to make the best of the situation and do as much I can offer, from emotional support to physical support, whatever I am capable of at the moment. All in all, this video inspired me to give back to others as much as I can, live
