Technology Class this week

This week in class we discussed Alignment theory and the different ways that we as teachers can apply the principles in our different learning activities that we create in order to help students accomplish the learning objectives that we have for our classes. We talked about the great resource that these learning activities can bring to the classroom, but also the difficulties that exist in creating a well thought out/well created learning activity that both engages the students and helps them to learn the important information in order for the concepts to "click" with each student. Another issue is the fact that each student learns in their own time and in their own way so are these learning activities the best way to teach the material so that everyone can understand it?
