Technology and its collaboration with Behaviorism Theory
The behavorist theory has been and is currently implemented in classrooms nationwide. The importance of our students being taught how to behave in collaboration with education is one of the highest. The engagement of the students in the classroom is also important, and should be an ongoing process in the classroom setting. Because of technology, many of our students ability to learn is on a more technologically based method. This does not mean that our students learn only through technology, but technology can be used as enrichment to help our students. Technology can be implemented in the classroom through PowerPoint presentations, educational gaming, educational tutorials and more. As educators it is important that we allow different avenues of enrichment for our students and keep them authentically and ritualistically engaged.

If anything we do as educators is going to be effective, we have to provide our students with engaging and meaningful work. Without that, our students will never connect to the material and "zone out" in our classes. You are exactly right about the importance of technology as a resource for our classes. Since today's students are so technology-inclined, it is important that we teach in a language and manner they can best relate to, and that seems to be through the use of technology tools. Offering meaningful lessons and work with the support of technology resources is probably on of the best ways to truly engage our students with course material.
