Constructivism

Please use the TABS at the top of the page to progress through the content pages in a linear fashion. If you would prefer to navigate the site in a way that fits your own inquiry and curiosity, just use the TABS as your guide.

At the bottom of each page, buttons will help you navigate to the next page or previous page, and there is a direct link to the DISCUSSION FORUM if you need to jump there throughout the site.

What you can expect throughout the site:

• Interactive activities and collaborative tools meant to showcase constructivist uses of technology in education;

• Reflective questions that will help you prepare for the discussion forum.

We encourage everyone to participate in the activities (though they are optional!) and even revisit those pages later in the conference to benefit from the accumulated answers of our classmates.

While we will be sharing our own examination of constructivism, we are also here to help guide and support your own learning and facilitate activities, reflections and conversations that will help you build your own understanding.

By the end of this conference presentation, you will be able to:

• Describe constructivism, its history and the theories that it underpins

• Explore contemporary theories of constructivism

• Illustrate your current understanding of constructivism and how you have applied it in practice

• Recognize the limitations and constraints of constructivism in online settings

• Compare and contrast constructivism in practice

• Design a constructivist learning experience
