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

New Blog Post. It is about my ISTE (international society of technology in education) RFP to present. I'd love it if people would look at my proposal and see if I have any mistakes. Also, I have a new friend. Alonso Martinez. He works at Google AI and is an artist. I recommended him to present a keynote at ISTE.

Anyone remembers the #OLPCXO? The device from from the #OneLaptopPerChild tech project disguised as #humanitarian?
Spotted one “in the wild”, last week. It was running Ubuntu instead of Sugar. And its use had little to do with the original purpose of the “$100 laptop for children in the developing world”.
To this day, the whole project is a reminder of the dangers of #Technosolutionism and the perils of #NarrowThinking, despite #Papert and #constructionism
