About the Site

Why make a site about educational psychology, do you ask? Well, not only is it absolutely fascinating, but this is what I chose for my final in my Educational Psychology class at Sacred Heart University in Griswold, CT. I know HTML, and I love the internet--when it behaves--so why not do something creative?

Feel free to link this site if you find it unusually interesting (which I'm sure you all will). Come back often!


What is Educational Psychology?

from Psychology Applied to Teaching (p. 2)

According to David Berliner, it is: "a scientific discipline that that uses psychological concepts and research methods to understand how the various characteristics of students, teachers, learning tasks, and educational settings interact to produce the everyday behaviors common in school settings."
