Abstract	There will always be proponents who feel that learning strategies influenced by behaviorism, by cognitivism, or by constructivism, will be best to facilitate learning. Our experiences lead us to a different conclusion: that beliefs about learning are best translated into practice using a combined array of different teaching strategies, with an eye toward what works for a given situation. Because educational technologies are new to most students, we have found that even with instructor facilitation, the freedom of a strictly constructivist classroom lends to too little being achieved, especially with the demands of state certification.Also undesirable would be a classroom influenced solely by behaviorist strategies. Classroom teachers are faced with a myriad of complex variables as they gain skills and knowledge in educational technologies. Trying to anticipate the variety of stimuli and reinforcements is not feasible in such a complex situation.Finally, pedagogies based on a strictly cognitivist learning theory may not facilitate the personal knowledge gained in a constructivist system, or the ability for rapid association and discrimination to learn simple facts, concepts, or procedures that can be efficiently acquired through a behaviorist approach.Through our experiences, we have found that by combining the strengths of different learning theories, we have created a workable mix of effective teaching and learning strategies. We have been able to tailor a course that provides the breadth, depth, and sustained interest to help both novice and intermediate learners integrate educational technologies in the classroom.
