I'm borrowing ipads and having students create picollages. My problem has been getting the collages from the ipads into a google doc so that we can all share. I'm thinking SendtoDropbox might be the answer. :-)

John Seely Brown: Tinkering as a Mode of Knowledge Production -
This is a different world we live in, one of peer based learning within communities where people learn from each other. Moving into a world of change. "Tinkering is taking your imagination and building something from It". Tinkering with ideas around us, asking good questions, being open to criticism, accepting the criticism and learning from it. Yes, developing critical thinkers." Create, Reflect and Share - peer based learning, kids learning from each other. Working together shoulder by shoulder. Allowing students to find the idea and take their learning where they want it to go. Constructing a new kind of learning environment teaching and understanding each other. The teacher being a mentor in the learning environment, constructing an environment were we are always constructing and teaching one another. Relating tinkering to technology is simple. Tools in the digital world allow learners to take an idea, make change for better or worse, play with knowledge. Developing ideas not necessarily new ones, but grown ones that exist. It allows learners to create knowledge on the fly and foster imagination. What an amazing video, definitely a must to watch, it fostered my ideas of peer based learning. Loved the way it related back to education way back where one teacher taught kids of all ages, where tinkering was definitely the way education was driven. Older kids helping younger. This is the way John thinks we should be going in education, I feel we are moving in that direction but it is evolving. Watch the video and enjoy!

Constructivism vs. knowledge building. Knowledge building as variation of constructivism. Inconsistent use of the term (no clear definition).

"constructivism that recognizes all kinds of intellectual products as human constructions: theories, algorithms, proofs, designs, plans, analogies, and on and on." (pg 4). This really jives with my thinking: I have concluded (over time and much learning, observation) that EVERYTHING is a construct. I firmly believe in nurture over nature as a determinant in so many aspects of human development.

I launched my knowledge of PBL via this website. They offered free, online courses on this topic. They have numerous pre-constructed plans available to facilitate learning how to run PBL in the classroom.
