In my last course for my Education technology Masters at UBC I designed a Moodle course that embraced constructionist theory. I have attached the link to my blog that outlines why and what I did for this course.

Having been a teacher for 26 years now, my mind is reeling with the drastic changes in education. One of the most promising areas, in my opinion, is the area of constructivism. Students creating their own understanding of the material makes so much sense. Watching students apply their skills in a collaborative setting goes to the heart of how humans learn in a natural way. Take away the notions that school is only "open" from 9:00 to 3:00 and opportunities for learning widen incredibly! Link this to all the amazing technology we have at our hands and you really have power to go beyond the old "drill and kill" rote-style learning. Challenges remain, but it appears education is evolving.
