Connecting Pedagogical Theories to 21st Century Technologies
- 1. A’Kena LongBenton, EdS, PMC Macomb Community College [email protected]
- 2. This workshop will address how 21st century technologies readily connect to pedagogical theories, i.e., Bloom's Taxonomy, Bruner’s cognitive theory, and communication and information processing theories. These theories are applicable to various disciplines and technologies. Nearly twenty 21st century technologies will be explored. Participants will walk away with a sound understanding of which technologies are appropriate for the various levels of Bloom's taxonomies. Specifically, these technologies can be used for teaching and student learning as follows: audio announcements/homework reminders; audiovisual lectures; content presentations; course management systems; curriculum webs; electronic journal writing; formative assessment tools; inquiry- based learning; quiz reviews; voice/video-based discussion boards; and video attention-grabbers or content summaries. As time permits, the aforementioned technologies will be introduced in a workshop format where participants will actively engage in technology-based instructional activities. For example, using the Poll Everywhere tool, instructors will electronically respond to a posed question using their mobile devices (cell phone, laptop, or tablet). Subsequently, electronic real-time survey results will appear on an LCD overhead projector screen. Most importantly, participants will be able to walk away from this authentic learning experience with applicable knowledge that will assist them in their careers.

- 5. Communication theory and message design allow instructors to use pictures (wordless comics, videos, etc.) as instructional messages. Lancaster & Warner (1985) argued that sound and animation are more important than text because they are more memorable. Richey, R. C., Klein, J. D., & Tracey, M. W. (2011).

- 18. The technologies explored promote: active and independent learning; application; creativity; critical thinking; problem solving; student engagement; and reflection—not mere comprehension. Word of Caution: Soft skills need to be addressed when technologies are used, e.g., time management skills. There are countless technologies and distractions on the internet. If students are not instructor-guided and/or focused, then tons of unproductive hours can be spent on the web with no intellectual gains.
