EVOLUTION OF THE PERSONAL COMPUTER Citation

STORY BOARD

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY • Without the invention of the personal computer, education might not be where it is today. • Today students need computers for their homework. They use it for creating presentations, researching information, staying connected. • This could not have been so without Steve Jobs, Bill Gates etc.

LEARNING THEORISTS • John B. Watson- • • Behaviorist • • B. F. Skinner- • • Behaviorist Wrote The Behaviorist Manifesto which outlined his theory on behaviorism • He theorized that both positive and negative reinforcement can strengthen a behavior • Behaviorism is a Psychological theory of learning where behavior is learned through rewards and punishments. • Skinner’s theory is often used in the classroom where students are given positive reinforcement (i. e. stickers, prizes) for the good behavior that the teacher is looking for • Citation Little Albert Experiment- conditioned a child to have phobias Skinner box- conditioned rats to do a system of tasks to receive food

LEARNING THEORISTS • Ivan Pavlov • • • Behaviorist • Not only students but anyone who uses a personal computer is conditioned, they know certain sounds mean to check email or notifications. They are conditioned to behave a certain way. • Citation Pavlov’s Dogs- conditioned dogs to salivate when they heard a bell by always producing food after the sound. This classical conditioning is a theory that can also be applied for students. Students are conditioned with the school bells to pack up their things to leave. They are conditioned in school to respond a certain way when a neutral stimulus is present (ex. If the teacher turns off the lights, they learned to be quite).

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY • People learn differently which technology helps greatly. • Visual learners can see with presentations, diagrams, and charts. • Auditory learners can still listen to presentations.
