Learning Outcome 3: Design learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the needs of all learners

The theory that the redesigned activity will display is the information processing theory which states that students are actively processing, storing, and retrieving information, and teaching involves helping learners to develop information processing skills and apply them systematically to mastering the curriculum. Cognitive structures relate to structures relate to structure of the subject matter. Information processing emphasizes cognitive structures built by the learner (Dabbagh, 2006). The principle that will be displayed in the redesigned activity will be cognitivism/pragmatism. This principle deals with a learner being an active in their learning experience.


The Activity and the Redesigned Activity

The activity that was chosen can be found on my created Course sites page titled Algebra I. The activity was a power point that was instructional in manner. It was a power point presentation that included instructions and details about the parts and processes of the algebraic equation.
The redesigned activity would include each student creating a Jing presentation using www.screencast.com to add audio. The students would be required to submit a power point with audio using Jing explaining each of the slides and finally explaining how they feel about math and its difficulty level; whether it is easy or hard. The power point would include text, some video links, and visuals.
