A much more recent study that analyzes the correlation between teachers' beliefs and the successful implementation of technology in the classroom. The results are very similar, and begin on p. 428 of the PDF.

Found this site by accident while I was looking for resources for my daughter. Has dozens and dozens of links to sites with research into the brain as it applies to learning. Interesting stuff, enjoy!

What serendipity!  This article was just posted on the Chronicle of Higher Education site, and I am amazed at how relevant it is to the model we are currently studying.  I am also amazed that more than two decades after the publication of the Seven Principles, this is still an issue in higher education.  Enjoy!

Bloom's Affective Domain

Bloom's Affective Domain tends to get a little bit of a short shrift when compared to the cognitive domain.  This is a great little interactive page from Wisconsin that covers the affective domain pretty effectively.  Again, a short, not very time-consuming exercise - enjoy!

Constructivism in Action

I am all for theory, but am all out for theory when it is practically applied.  This website offers tons of useful, practical ideas for applying Constructivism in the classroom.  I am still looking for material on Constructivism as it relates to its practical application in Distance Learning, and will post when I find something I feel it useful.  Enjoy!
