Learning theory and classroom technology

The learning theories related to the software I have chosen are mostly direct instructional models.  Kindergarten children do work in group activities in constructivist ways but their technology and social skills are still developing.  

Older children could use Google docs to work constructively to produce group solutions to a problem. Students could also research a topic as a group and produce a Prezi or Powerpoint/Google Slide on their findings as an assessment task.

Direct instructional models include individual tablet or netbook activities. Using Learn Write Letters ABC 123 or the RAZ Kids Apps on the Tablet or iPad are two examples where the children need to work alone to focus on the formation of their writing and reading skills.
