Theory of Multiple Intelligences
Every student learns differently A single approach to teaching will not work on
every student.

process
Internet Usage in School In 2005 Pew Internet & American
Life Project conducted a survey

Special Needs
Types of Motivation Intrinsically
Want to show level of education to others for a sense of personal achievement.
Extrinsically Motivated by the “WOW” factor and enjoy
exploring new technology. Tech = decrease in absences and increase in
level of classroom participation. "Interactive Whiteboards and Learning." Smart Tech. SMART

Consider the Risks Students aren’t going to use
school issued computer/technology for school related purposes 100% of the time. The internet presents a
massive distraction for students during class periods
Students have to be willing to ignore the distractions and focus during the lesson.
