Tomorrow people from all over the world are sharing their ideas on constructionism in education. From China, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, UK, Austria, United States and Germany (and maybe some others 😉). Some of them in real life at the LocHal, some others remote.
Edit: And definitely Ireland too 😄#turtlestitch10 #arts #steam #digitalliteracy #makereducation #LocHal #Tilburg #Constructionism

Proposal for #constructionism #barcamp #ETH_Zurich
Where’s the resistance? Constructionism, FLOSS, and the politics of EduTech
Given Papert’s emphasis on openness, learner empowerment, and dismantling rigid and oppressive systems… And given that so many powerful ed-tech tools (Logo, Scratch, Arduino, micro:bit) are rooted in FLOSS values…
Why is conversation about digital sovereignty, platform hegemony, technofeudalism, digital rights, and critical digital pedagogy still so marginal in... -

A discussion in our Matrix chat today:
Q: What is Constructionism?
A: "It is a bit more than learn by doing. We add some additional components: (1) scaffolding in the form of well-designed microworlds; (2) collaborative environment that includes peer and mentors; (3) tools for reflection; (4) the ability to share and expand upon the tools and the content." -- @walterbender

Ein hervorragendes Beispiel für den Einsatz von 3D-Druckern im Unterricht bzw. Lernprozess: das haptische Erlebnis dieses Objektes schlägt jeden "Erfolg" mit der 3D-Software um Längen. Damit auch die Lerntiefe und Lernintensität. Es ist nicht damit getan, den Lernenden ausschließlich Bedienung zu vermitteln. Erst wenn etwas be-greif-bares hergestellt wird, tritt umfassendes und sinnstiftendes Lernen ein.

”All of the observability infrastructure in the world is just noise unless someone spends time developing an understanding of your system” ~ David Caudill There’s likely a 10:1 investment return when spending that time up front versus in the middle of the night when you’re troubleshooting an outage.

Hello, we're Sugar Labs.
Sugar is an activity-focused, free/libre open-source software learning platform for children. Collaboration, reflection, and discovery are integrated directly into the user interface. Through Sugar's clarity of design, children and teachers have the opportunity to use computers on their own terms. Students can reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities and experiences.
