What I Found: Chapter 2 focuses on how using visual learning, information research and retrieval, collaborative feedback, and rapid feedback makes technology unique, powerful, and transformative. The chapter listed examples and definitions of the different experiences listed above and how using a certain form of technology can promote those experiences in positive ways. The chapter also outlined what the science of learning theory that is most often used by teachers. This theory Is Behaviorism cognitive science constructivism and this theory focus is student centered learning. This is the goal as a teacher and it creates situations where students can engage after learning, minds-on, problem solving and thoughtful reflection about academic experiences.

What I Wonder: 

How effective technology really is for a teacher once they have entered the world of education? Do computers and other forms of technology always make learning a positive or is it possible that at times it might complicate learning or teaching.
