From East Lansing to Detroit

This is a great lecture to remind us that we are teachers first and computer programmers next.  I like using constructivism with computer projects.  This is what computers were designed to do which is to collect, calculate and distribute information it has constructed. 

Bell discusses two approaches to constrictivism.  I do not believe inquiry would be appropriate for my students which are Kindergarten through eighth grade.  Possibly someone will respond to the blog and have a suggestion hint hint.  I am confortable with project-based approach.  I like how some of the structure is in place.  It seems to me that an approach like this will have some questions in place to start the project.

Overall I like that this approach arouses curiousity.  It forces learning in a positive way.  I like the idea of being a facilitator or in my case a referee.  I will continue to create projects where this type of learning takes place.
