Power Point and NETS

There are many themes supported by both the NETS for teachers model and the first chapter of Clear and to the Point. Both put an emphasis on learning and the behaviors of a learning student. Kosslyn uses the prospects of learning to promote understanding and memory. He believes that you can not ignore the key facts of learning. These facts of learning help students comprehend through diverse learning styles in the NETS model. NETS also put an emphasis on using learner centered strategies, whereas Kosslyn states in his Principal of Compatibility that the message is easiest to understand if its form is compatible with its meaning. Another theme discussed in both pieces is the Principal of Appropriate Knowledge. This principal states that communication requires prior knowledge of relevant concepts, jargon and symbols. This concept is reinforced in the second standard of the NETS model. The standard states that a teacher should design or adapt relevant experiences to promote student learning. Through these experiences the student gains knowledge and understanding.
