Constructionist Learning

This week, we were introduced to the concept of Constructionist Learning. Constructionist Learning was coined by one of Piaget's students Seymour Papert. Papert believed that when children create and experiment for themselves they draw their own conclusions, which creates new experiences and ways of learning. An Example of Constructionism is when children Design, Create and Publish their own work. This may include:
-Children as photographers
-Children as bloggers.
-Children as podcasters
-Children as publishers of newspapers
-Children making and uploading videos to YouTube.
The video below highlights constructionism in the 21st century.
