           Cognitive Learning Theory, Graphic Organizers, and Virtual Field Trips                     Many connections unite the cognitive theory, graphic organizers, and virtual field trips that work together to support and even enhance learning. The cognitive learning theory, according to Orey, focuses on how we process information (Laureate Education (Producer), 2015a).  He noted three main parts, the sensory register, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Through these, we learn and remember. The key is to get to the long-term memory, where facts and information, procedures, and episodic memory or events are held. Images are one of the key factors to aid students in making connections as they are connected to the other senses such as smell, taste, and more.  The graphic organizers and virtual field trips work related to the cognitive learning theory because they help ...

 Behaviorist Learning Theory, Instructional Strategies, and Technology Tools Behaviorism, instructional strategies, and technology tools can work together to create environments and experiences to improve and enhance learning. Before discussing the relationship between behaviorism, instructional strategies, and technology tools, we must establish an understanding of the three. Behaviorism is the practice that suggests that learning and unlearning can take place through a system of rewards and punishments, an ideal that has been effectively adopted in education (Orey, 2010). Instructional strategies are simply the various techniques that an educator may use to create an effective learning environment. Finally, there are technology tools; these are the programs and items educators use to add variety and improve and enhance student learning (Laureate Education Inc., 2015). These tools can include but are not limited to blogs, Google Sites, Slides and Docs, EdPuzzle, Classroom Dojo, ...
