Day 2: Constructivism

Constructivism reminds me of best practices for students and teachers. It's a philosophy of how the brain says we learn best. Through hands on investigations, problem solving, communicating, and reflection. Teachers motivate students by making learning relevant to their lives. What is it that you want to learn? What procedure could you take to reach your goals? Let's work together as a team to share our ideas and learn from one another.

One powerful aspect of constructivism is questioning. Asking open ended questions is an area I strive to improve on this year. I can nurture their ideas by listening to them reason and allowing them to drive their instruction.

Technology is definitely a way to foster a constructivist environment. It allows for all the best practices that were mentioned above. I am so excited to be a part of this class which will help me to become a better teacher for my students.
