description
Slides from the lecture broadcast on Teachers' TV, see http://www.teachersmedia.co.uk/videos/social-constructivism-and-open-source-software Reflection We will spend some time discussing the place of group work in learning with technology, as well as sharing our experience of online communities and networks. Theory I present some key education theories: social contructivism, Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development and Wenger’s community of practice, focussing on their relation to ICT. I also introduce open source and creative commons as approaches to software development and resource sharing. Workshop You are encouraged to explore the online Scratch community, evaluating some of the Projects which have been uploaded to the site, perhaps contributing some of your own work, reading through and engaging with the discussion forums. Independent project work There will be opportunity to continue the development of your Project, following feedback from other students.

“Constructionism boils down to demanding that everything be understood by being constructed”
“Concrete” materials rather than abstract propositions
“Soap-sculpture math”
