The entire concept of a technology enabled classroom is based on the "Cognitive Approach" which has been the most widely accepted theory of the learning process. The cognitive approach, which recognizeds the close relatinship between that which is known to be learned, proceeds to build on this knowledge base by helping students associate new material with something that is familier. Productive teaching occurs when this new link is established. Therefore, an effective teacher who uses cognitive stratgies will incorporate many devices into a lession to assist the student in this linking process. Audio-visual aids, demostrations, simulations, rhymes, and patterns are some linking devices available to the teacher.
