Tell me & I forget.
Show me & I remember.
Let me do & I understand.

11. Constructivism
“People actively construct new knowledge
as they interact with their environments.
Everything you read, see, hear, feel and
touch is tested against our existing mental
schema and may be built upon to form new
knowledge”.
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Philosophy

12. Social Constructivism
- All of us are potential teachers as well as learners
- We learn well from expressing something for others
- We learn through observing peer activity
- By understanding learner context, we teach more effectively
- A learning environment must be flexible & adaptable
