You can be a Constructivist

June 28, 2010|Barbara Bray|Comments Off on You can be a Constructivist|,

I am at ISTE 2010 and attended The Constructivist Consortium with Tech4Learning, Fablevision, GenYes, LCSI, Ispiration, and Schoolkit.com. I had so much fun I wish I could share the excitement I felt. Well, maybe I can by sharing what I created with Frames by Tech4Learning.

I’m still new at WordPress and cannot figure out how to play the video right from this post – I hope you click on the link to check it out. What I learned from Gary Stager is that making things is the best way to learn. More and more we will see books, TV shows, craft events, websites about making stuff. When you do something learning is not passive.

Gary showed us a video from Imaginit.com that was inspirational – please check it out and share. Talked about books we have to read. I’m buying Making Learning Whole by David Perkins for our book club. Never heard of Howtoons.com before.

Will be sharing more and adding more to this when I learn more.

“Grow Your Why…One Story at a Time” includes 23 stories from inspirational educators, innovators, and entrepreneurs. Go to this page or click on the book to go to Why Press Publishing for launching, details, and resources.

I’m getting wonderful feedback on how much the information and stories in “Define Your Why” have helped them. For more information about this book, go to this page or click on the book for resources, questions, and links.

Make sure you check out more of the Grow Your WHY podcasts and each post that the guests created. Click on this link or the logo below to list by episode, alphabetical, or reflections.

I am a co-host of a new podcast, “Real Talk with Barbara and Nicole.” Check out the episodes about Authenticity in a Polarized Society around different topics. Click on RealTalkBN or the logo below.
