\"\"\"ConstructionismWow! What a week. I’ve taught in Tampa, Seoul and after 25,000 miles, I am now in Paris to be a plenary speaker at the Constructionism 2010 Conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is such an honor to be invited to speak at a conference featuring some of the smartest people in the world and pioneers in thinking about thinking and learning with computers. Two of Logo’s three inventors, Cynthia Solomon<\/a> and Wally Feurzig, are here. Seymour Papert<\/a>‘s influence is ubiquitous and in many ways, the conference is a celebration of Papert’s ideas, work, friendship and leadership.<\/p>\n

There is a lot of talk these days about personal learning networks and learning communities, but this is a true learning community featuring experts who have been evolving ideas for as long as 40+ years and newbiews. There is serious expertise here! The conference attendees range from 20ish to 80+ years old. In the spirit of Papert’s Samba School metaphor<\/a>, we get to spend the next five days “dancing together.”<\/p>\n

My paper, A Constructionist Approach to Teaching with Robotics<\/a>, sounds overly dry and specific, but I hope some of you will take a few minutes to read it since robotics is a metaphor for rethinking the nature of teaching and learning. I even briefly explored the severe weakness of what Apple is now promoting as Challenge-based Learning.<\/p>\n

I hope to upload some of the slides I’ve created to supplement the presentation at a later time.<\/p>\n

\n

Please vote<\/a> for my session, The Best Educational Ideas in the World<\/a>, to be included in the South-by-Southwest Conference! I need LOTS of votes!<\/p>\n
