Identifying Ethical, Legal, and Theological Issues in Educational Technology

 

Understanding the muddiest point or overview may be unclear to some than others. It was clear on how Dr. David Brown explain the different term by breaking down the information for the students can learn how importance the information is. He explain some terms like plagiarism and security breach  that is taking place through the use of technology and computers. Plagiarism is the act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author: I believe that students need to learn more about plagiarism and why it is importance not to steal or take any information that is not his or hers. However the do’s and don’ts rules needs to be applied and enforce.  Dr. Tyler Veak explains the copyright information and why it is required by law.  Copyright law is the law that provides creators of original work the exclusive rights to it. Copyright is applicable to both material property (like consumer products) and intellectual property (like literary works). One thing that was muddiest or unclear to me was the copyright myths. Everything on the web can be used without permission. Just to think how some of these myths did started is unclear and where did they get their information from.

A New Age of Digital Learning Theory

A New Age of Digital Learning Theory

What is Theory?

Theory explains how some aspect of human behavior or performance is organized. It thus enables us to make predictions about behavior. Theory provides concepts to name what we observe and to explain relationships between concepts. Theory allows us to explain what we see and to figure out how to bring about change. Theory is a tool that enables us to identify a problem and to plan a means for altering the situation. In the instructional environments we learned that there are three broad learning theories behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism as we know started in the very first part of the twenty century through various animal learning experiments.  This behaviorism was considered then to be the theoretical frame work. When I began to look at the word constructivist along it remind me that learning along can point toward many teaching practices. However I must say that students must be encourage in learning how to use different techniques in his or her experiment, problem solving to create more knowledge and then reflects on how their understanding is changing.

Perhaps years ago these terms may have been limited in different ways of meaning. There was a time where these learning theories did not impact the uses of technology. However now over the last twenty years, we are able to communicate, how we live, and how we learned through technology. The theories and Learning needs should be describe as learning principles and how it is process, also should reflect the underlying social environments. According to Vaill emphasizes that “learning must be a way of being-an ongoing set of attitudes and actions by individuals and groups that employ to try to keep abreast of surprising, novel, messy, obtrusive, recurring events…”(1996, P.42). How would this framework or theory be used in research you plan to complete in the future? These framework will be incorporated in my research plan to corporate what theory is best to used and what is not good for a learning environment.
