Intentional learning helps students be creative thinkers, there is an intended goal at hand but how students get there is up to them. I used intentional learning when I let soldiers decide who was going to do which task. We were directed from our Sergent to move a certain amount of equipment. As the team leader, I allowed them to choose who moved what , as long as every piece got moved, the end goal was still reached.

Active-Manipupaltive/Observant

Active Learning allows technology to be used as a tool and not the primary source of knowledge. For example, I struggled in my biology class last semester. Instead of cheating and using AI to help me pass, I actually read the textbook and used online resources as a resource to study. I looked at educational videos to help me memorize the content rather than the answers.

Constructive-Articulate/Reflective

Technology is used to connect prior knowledge to the new knowledge. I used constructive learning to help me understand how to work math problems in my teaching elementary school math class. I knew I could do the math I just needed a refresh on mathematical rules that I hadn't used in a while. Videos online helped me re understand the basics, and connect those old principles to the new problems.

Authentic-Complex/Contextual

Authentic Learning allows students simply learn at their own pace. It allows students to naturally absorb knowledge. I am always using authentic learning. I'm a people person so I love talking to others, because you can learn something from anyone. I'm not big on technology, but I do enjoy watching educational videos and documentaries. The concept of google within itself is amazing, you can look up virtually anything, you control how much information you want to receive.

Cooperative-Collabaraitve/Conversational

Technology is used to collaborate with other students. Being a student, I am constantly using cooperative learning. Discussion boards, zooms, and google teams are all just examples of cooperative learning.
