1. Cover slide with title, name, course name, and date.
   
   
2. Describe your selected educational psychologist including a brief biography of where and when he was born, his educational career, and the theory for which he is known.
   
   
3. Indicate facts about the learning theory constructed by your educational psychologist.
   
   
4. Explain reasons why some oppose or argue against the learning theory.
   
   
5. Summarize whether you agree or disagree with the learning theory and explain why.
   
   
6. Explain how the learning theory is relevant to you as a future educator. In other words, how does the learning theory “look” in your future classroom? Provide at least two scenarios in the classroom to explain how you would apply the learning theory in your teaching.
   
   
7. Your last slide should include an APA formatted list of references used to support your biography. Be sure that these sources are also cited within your presentation.
   
   
8. Be sure to include images and at least two scholarly sources for your presentation
