Constructivism. When I think about this term a few things come to mind. Hmmmm, the main things that I think about are hands on, engaging, exciting, fun, and different than what most students are used to. Personally, I wish more of my teachers would have used this more in their own classrooms. It would have made more of the assignments fun, and it would have gotten us as the students more involved in doing them. When a teacher does the most boring things over, and over, anddddd over we all just want to go home, and no one is interested in doing anything. On the other hand, when they use fun tools like this it makes the students actully want to be included, and they are excited to do the task. 
In the future, when I have my own classroom someday, I will use this tool. Anything that will get my students interested and excited about learning I will be willing to use. Also, this makes it easier on us as the teachers. We won't have to listen to the moans and groans about an assignment (of course there will still be some, just not as many) and they will really want to do something fun. Hopefully I will be creative in what I have my students do! I am excited to someday have a constructivism classroom! :D School should be fun, clearly looking at these pictures you can tell we were all having fun in the classroom!

  2. First of all, I completely agree with Sabrina. On a more serious note, I agree with you about how as students it is so much better and more fun to learn when the teachers have an engaging activity for us to participate in.

  3. I agree with the first two comments :) It's good to see a future educator care about her students' interests so much in mind and hope they are excited about coming to school. So great that YOU ARE THE FUTURE ;) haha
