Create a Power Point presentation using JING about Behaviorism and Behaviorist Approaches to Instructional Design.

In my years of being an education major I was taught about the behaviorist approach to teaching. From my readings and understanding I was lead to believe that the behaviorist approach to education is teacher lead. Meaning that the outcome of whatever is being thought is automatically thought of and when reproduced will also end the same way. When I began doing this assignment I was under the impression that the behaviorist approach to learning would also be the same when it comes to instructional design. However, as I read the definition for the topic of this assignment I knew that was not the case.
