Laying the “tablecloth” foundation: The purpose of this site is to provide an interactive, engaging , and thought provoking conversation between MET learners about Constructivism in the classroom.
Theme Music: This short YouTube is very innovative and gives us some theme music to set the stage for our constructivist feast. Enjoy!
The Utensils: We have chosen to use a cooking analogy to guide us through this discussion, paralleling constructivist learning to that of preparing a dish of spaghetti and meatballs. Cooking, just like learning, is an active process with many different elements working together to create the perfect culinary delight just as they do with the construction of knowledge.
As you navigate your way through this presentation, we encourage you as the learner to interact with the recipe we have provided you, and take the lead! Become a knowledge chef in our constructivist kitchen.
Begin by Reflecting: Who are the educators who have influenced us the most? What qualities made them memorable?
