If you are interested in seeing a practical application (examples, blogs, discussions about laptops with students) of constructivist teaching and technology, visit HERE. Be sure to click on as many links as you can. I would love to talk more about this.
What are the students doing?
Wes Fryer pointed to this article and chart from Business Week showing who’s doing what online. Take a look at the 12-17-year-old age group! The highest percentage use/join social networking sites (MySpace, Facebook, etc). I hope we can discuss ways to use this interest or at least become aware of what they are doing and how it affects their online experience.
Video on teaching and creativity
Science animations
If you teach biology, these sites offer cell animations. Thanks to Jim Gates for pointing these out.
