Ask any teacher and is more than likely that they will have one particular learning model or theory that they subscribe to. I remember attending a conference and a teacher proudly claimed that she was a constructivist. In this episode, Dennis and Mark attempt to shed some light on evergreen learning theories such as constructivism, cognitivism, Behaviorism and Social Learning. We then look at the rising importance of using Science of Learning concepts and attempt to make sense of this theoretical base and how it can be used in teaching and learning.

In Part 2, Mark shares a productivity tool called "Check my links". This is especially useful for teachers who create HTML documents or websites to direct students to websites or for them to go through a set learning list.
