Social Learning

There are an infinite number of things that can be integrated using the social learning theories. When students are presented the opportunities to use technology as a part of the lesson, they thrive on the determination to attain that goal. My students are always working towards the opportunity of using the computers and when I provide them the incentive of using technology as a part of their assignment, they are extremely motivated to complete. When social learning and technology are combined, students are more engaged in the learning experience and, in turn, create a deeper memory of what is learned.

Enhancing the use of the social learning theory will also promote active cooperative learning for the students while still incorporating necessary skills in order to reach their goal. The social learning theory promotes active, engaged learning for students while building relationships.
