Introduction
Hello students, my name is Kevin Earwood.
I am sure there was a special teacher in your life you think of when thinking about this, in this section you may learn where they got their values of teaching from as this section will go into learning theories.
This section is about different theories in educational psychology and how to distinguish them from each other.
The main three theories that will be talked about are cognitive psychology, behaviorism, and social cognitive theory.
Task
For the assignment in this section, everyone will be required to make a Venn diagram of some sort comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences of cognitive psychology, behaviorism, or social cognitive theory.
You will need a computer or tablet for this assignment. Any pdf file will work.
Process
For this assignment, I want at least 2-3 sentences per category if not more. I am aware some may not have a bunch of similarities so at least 2 will do for the tougher ones. I will also be grading on how clean it looks and the quality of information and sources.
I will provide some links to help you just in case you need them.

Evaluation
I am having trouble displaying the rubric so I will end it personally.
After this assignment I want the students to reflect on the different things they did and what they learned.
Conclusion
As you walk away from this section I want you to think of what theory you agree with the most in terms of learning or education.
