Where should I start? There are at least 50 different ways to learn across this great country or at at least that many BOE which believe it has the right way. Kapp's blog was short, but his response to another blog comments I thought was a solid position. I believe you should apply different theories to fit the situation.
The blog responses to Kerr were in the same neighborhood. They pointed out the multiple theories do not neatly fit into any particular mold. I agree because our learning comes from our experiences and no two are alike.
The theory each has its own perspective on learning, so one would expect people to share various spins. The very existence of these blogs only confirms how diverse learning can be.
As pointed out in the assignment, there are much one can read on line. The following is a post I came across. Retrieved on March 31, 2011 from http://hotelvictor.yuiin.com/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-a-viewpoint/

What are my beliefs about how people learn best?
Is there truly one right answer to this inquiry? I believe the ways people learn are simply too numerous to place a reliable number any two people can agree upon. For example, there are some situations in which my learning is enhanced by visual presentation. Many years ago I joked with my older sister I learned how to drive from racing go-carts. If you spend any time on our roadways, it seems many drivers method of learning could best be describes as a combination of video game simulation and bumper car drills.
Driscoll (2005) states learning is a persisting change in human performance or performance potential. Learning theories provide a rationale for this action. So what is the purpose of learning theories in education technology? The digital age changed the playing field , but the rules are still the same. Siemens provides insight comparing four theories and the application to education technology is an simple taransition. It is only when one views technology as as a new and complex evolution would you begin to see incompatiablity.
I love reading the postings in this blog. This particular one was about a concerned parent and the ineffective preparation her child received from her school. Also included are recent posts. One in particular provides details about Secretary Duncan's assessment of how the majority of schools are failing to properly educate our students.

The authur of this particular blog shared his views of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on student learning. The links to additional blogs from the blog were extensive and extremely captivating information to read.
I have included a link to a video clip which will interest any and all who has wondered if teachers help raise test scores. Recent comments from individuals such as Bill Gates indicate the answer is a resounding yes.
