Final Theory

Here is my Theory Project for our final in Learning Theory, EDUC 633.

It is a PDF of a book I wrote based on the theories of B.F. Skinner.

ENJOY!

Reflection:

I approached this assignment a few different ways...First, I began to think about things which I knew how to do,
mainly, run a marathon. So, I was going to go with that topic. Then I had to think about B.F. Skinner and how he
would have taught the topic. The only reinforcements I could think of would come from within, since running a marathon
is so self-motivated. Yes, you could have a coach who could positively and negatively reinforce, but that's not always
going to happen.

So, from there I thought about teaching a child good vs. poor choices. I began to explore unique tools online that we had not
used yet (and that were new to me) and that's when I found TikaTak to write children's books (and potentially publish them).
I thought this would be great since I wanted to teach a child anyone. The book is the lesson. Once I got rolling on the book
it all flew out. The program was good. There are some changes I would make (givemore options for more creativity), but it did
what it said it would do!
