through all of the projects that you will be working on this semester.

Continue working on the learning puzzle, next piece of the puzzle
is about learning theories. From the article "Technologies for
Teaching and Learning", you should have solid understanding of what
educational technologyis. Besides, you also touch the learning theories.
