Process and Resources

Now that you have chosen what your lesson will be on, you need to further explore aspects of Cognitive Learning.  Choose one or two aspects to explain how you can practically apply it to this specific lesson:

• Gestalt Theory
• Information Processing Theory
• Schema

Next, build a short lesson (essentially you're creating an example).   Be sure to discuss how these applications relate and/or illustrate Cognitive Learning Theory principles.   

Finally, do task three--reflect.  What's your opinion?  "Please discuss whether you think focusing on one learning theory in particular when designing curriculum changes an Instructional Designer’s design for the better, worse, or not at all."

Ideas of "Practical Applications" include:

-Design Strategies (physical)
-Rehearsal
-Chunking
-Mnemonics
-Organizers
-Task Analysis
