Discussion #3
Topic:  New Literacies
Read Chapter 2 of the text.  The authors indicate that new literacies are transforming how we teach content.  Students are considered “digital natives” while many teachers are considered “digital immigrants.”  How familiar are you with the suggested multimodal learning strategies and applications described throughout this chapter?  Provide examples of those you have used and those for which you were less familiar.  What challenges do we face as we integrate and assess more learning opportunities with new literacies?

A learning theory provides a framework for how individuals learn. In turn, teachers design instruction based on the learning theory, so that all students are able to learn effectively. There are many popular learning theories, such as social constructivism, behaviorism, connectivism, and cognitive learning theories.

When learning theories are successfully implemented, teachers are able to develop useful methods that support students as they advance their learning, as well as address student strengths and needs and provide opportunities to demonstrate understanding in various ways. Teaching methods, then, are the specific approaches teachers utilize to actualize learning theories and bring them to life in the classroom.

I just need my homework done for Psychology – only 3 paragraphs
Collect your thoughts and ideas and write about 3 paragraphs that address the option you selected. If you use any outside references, textbook included, make you note that in your response.
Option 2

This option covers the vast array of genetic influence as well as the idea of nature vs nurture, genes vs environment, as well as epigenetics and how the environment influences the expression of genes.    Can two people with identical genes ( genotype) have different  gene expression ( phenotype)?  Do you know identical twins or are you an identical twin? Do you see differences between the individuals?  How do you understand the relationship and complexity between the recessive, dominant and multifactorial form of inheritance?  How about the idea that Identical twins raised in different environments still have some similarities yet have some differences?
