  This article discusses the learning theories of Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and Connectivism. These learning theories help educators shape ideas of how to structure a classroom based on research and different types of teaching and learning environments.
  These learning theories try to help make the learning process better by trying to understand where learners are coming from, how they learn, why they learn, and so forth. Connectivism theory stems on the belief that learners learn best when they can connect to something they already know, or they have experience with, when learning something new - for example, using Facebook as a means to write a short essay about Shakespeare. This type of medium they feel comfortable with.
