"Top Ten Learning Theories for Digital and Collaborative Learning

It reminded me what I support Learning through Play and made me wonder which theories apply to us. Both Constructivism and Constructionism certainly. So does the Community of Learning theory.

This would be a great slide show to share with our kaiako.

I'm not clear on the difference between constructivism and constructionism.

Learning-focused culture
Develop learning-focused relationships with learners, enabling them to be active participants in the process of learning, sharing ownership and responsibility for learning.

Conditions for Classroom Technology Innovations

2002

Three conditions required: Innovator, innovation, context

Context refers to the conditions which support successful innovation. These include:-

Technical infrastructure:- a functional school system managed by experts. When the system is functional, we don't notice it; malfunctions bring it to our attention. As far as I am aware, Haeata has a capable technical support team who manage all our hardware, app installation, wifi, security etc etc

Human infrastructure:- the technical people who are available to support the teacher with their innovation; and the technology advisors who know how to use the technology well.

Peer support - other people who are interested in what you are doing and who are motivated to join you. These people and their positive interest will help to keep the innovator motivated to continue with the project.

Professional Learning
Engage in professional learning and adaptively apply this learning in practice.
