As I approach the end of this course, I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel. I am beginning to see how tools can help students begin to construct and support their own learning. I am looking forward to trying some of the things I have learned in the classroom. The IBA is one. I want to construct an IBA and see how the students respond to it. These are time consuming to create BUT once they are created, they are done and ready to tweak. OR there are resources out there that have them already created and ready to use or tweak.
The other one I like is the Interactive White Board. Again, once created, they are ready to be used or tweaked. I think that students would love doing the activity and referring back to it.
As I have been creating these projects, I am beginning to see how the constructivist theory can be used in the classroom. I am still not 100% there but it is much clearer. It is just a different way of thinking about education. Students today are different than I went through, so why not try it!
