=Introduction= ====Welcome to the learning theories in technology website. This site was created by a graduate student for an educational technology course at Northern Arizona University. The goal of this site is to explore two educational learning theories and two pioneers in the field of learning theories, and explore how teachers can apply new technologies in conjunction with these theories. Albert Bandura’s work discusses the effect of a teacher’s attitude in the classroom and how it impacts students. Benjamin Bloom created Mastery Learning Theory, which highlights the importance of varying teaching styles. He also developed the concept of breaking lessons down into units to allow for more frequent assessment. Constructivism is all about building on students prior knowledge==== ====and suppositions. Discovery Learning Theory is about relying on the curiosity of the students to motivate them, and encourages teachers to forgo attempts at making the subject relevant to the students.====
