Standard #5: Application of Content The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving related to authentic local and global issues. Name of Artifact: Final Project PowerPoint Date: May 2016 Course: EDUC 224: Introduction to Scientific Inquiry

3. Intasc standards
Brief Description: In this assignment, I was required to complete a final project with a group of students. While doing the project we had to ask questions, apply content, and analyze information. Rationale: To document my understanding of INTASC Standard #6: Application of Content, I have selected to include my Final Project PowerPoint, because I was required to work with a group and form a presentation which requires me to analyze information as well as use communication skills.

Declarative Habitual
“The problem, Poldrack said, is that the two types of learning seem to be competing with each other, and when someone is distracted, habit learning seems to take over from declarative learning” (Stevenson 2006).
