\"\"<\/a>I created Constructing Modern Knowledge<\/a> (CMK) four years ago as a labor of love. I was\u00a0 growing increasingly concerned that educators lacked the time necessary to develop fluency with the software environments they embrace for students and may not have a deep enough understanding of learning theory or progressive educational practices to situate classroom computer use in a meaningful context. I also wanted to help leaders in the progressive education community recognize that computers are not the enemy of creativity and intellectual development.<\/p>\n

It is enormously gratifying to see CMK<\/a> become more successful each year. It is equally mind-blowing to think that Jonathan Kozol, Deborah Meier, Alfie Kohn, Lella Gandini, Derrick Pitts, Bob Tinker, James Loewen, Mitchel Resnick, Peter Reynolds and Marvin Minsky would agree to participate in my intimate summer institute. The greatest joy of my life is creating opportunities for educators to meet and spend time with their heroes. CMK does just that.<\/p>\n

The CMK faculty<\/a> of Cynthia Solomon, Brian Silverman, Sylvia Martinez & John Stetson are the best in the world. Cynthia and Brian are responsible for many of the open-ended software tools and pedagogical approaches constructivist educators employ when they teach with computers. Sylvia is an expert software developer, curriculum designer and student empowerment advocate. John Stetson is quite simply the best teacher I have ever met. They work together and with CMK participants like a well-oiled machine.<\/p>\n

There is still room for additional registrants at this year’s Constructing Modern Knowledge institute! Register today!<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

Great news!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Registrations for CMK 2011 – July 11-14<\/a>, 2011 are terrific!. In order to maintain the quality of educational experience I demand, I have expanded the real estate for our learning environment and added an additional expert educator to serve on our faculty.<\/p>\n

\"\"I met Jeff Richardson for the first time twenty-one years ago, minutes after landing in Australia for the first time. I came to Sydney with Seymour Papert and Brian Silverman to speak at the 1990 World Conference on Computers in Education. Jeff was already teaching online graduate courses and had taught countless educators across Australia how to teach with computers in a constructionist fashion. Jeff had a cellular telephone back then when they were the size of a lunchbox, but still prefers PINE as his email program \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We became great friends and have worked together in numerous capacities ever since. Jeff’s breadth and depth of knowledge is remarkable – bordering on maddening. He is a briilliant educator, lifelong learner and raconteur. The skills he has developed over thirty years on Australian public radio will make an important contribution to CMK participants’ interactions with our amazing guest speakers.<\/p>\n

The following is a little more biographical information on Jeff Richardson, just one more reason why you should register<\/a> for Constructing Modern Knowledge 2011!<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeff Richardson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeff Richardson is the Director of Student Services for Trinity College<\/a> at the University of Melbourne. For decades, Jeff was a senior lecturer in education at Monash University where he was a pioneer in online learning, even before the graphical Web. As a result, Mr. Richardson taught a generation of educators across Australia to use computers in a constructionist fashion. Jeff was also a primary teacher and taught at RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) as well. He was the Australian editor for The Logo Exchange<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When not teaching or supporting students, Jeff Richardson is one of Australia\u2019s most enduring and popular radio personalities. Jeff is host and a founder of The Coodabeen Champions<\/em><\/a>, a comedy troupe with multiple shows on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), now celebrating its 30th anniversary \u2013 the same number of years Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show<\/em>. Jeff is also the substitute co-host for ABC Breakfast Radio in Melbourne. He also sang the Coodabeens\u2019 hit song, That\u2019s the Thing About Football<\/a>, before more than 100,000 at an Aussie Rules Football Grand Final (think Superbowl).<\/p>\n

The Coodabeens<\/a> have enjoyed best-selling books, songs and albums. Their motto (below) oddly captures the spirit of Constructing Modern Knowledge.<\/p>\n
