Constructivism…

When understanding the concept of constructivism i had to think back to when i was in school. Was i allowed the opportunities to discover my own learning??? Was i given the chance to ask questions, explore and observe??? I believe i was given a range of opportunities to learning through the theory of constructivism. Constructivism, defined by its name, is a theory that allows people to construct their own meaning and knowledge of the world through experiencing, reflecting, and observing particular experiences and acts. To do this we need to actively ask questions, explore and assess what knowledge known. Here, e-learning in the classroom can contribute to effective learning through constructivism. The ability for children to explore, research, express and reflect on their learning through different technology allows children to learn at their full potential. Getting children to use technology to demonstrate their knowledge and to explore different aspects provides children with ample amount of opportunities to explore and learn at their full potential. E-learning allows children to learn HOW TO LEARN.
