Tomorrow people from all over the world are sharing their ideas on constructionism in education. From China, Denmark, Italy, Netherlands, UK, Austria, United States and Germany (and maybe some others 😉). Some of them in real life at the LocHal, some others remote.
Edit: And definitely Ireland too 😄

Where’s the resistance? Constructionism, FLOSS, and the politics of EduTech

Given Papert’s emphasis on openness, learner empowerment, and dismantling rigid and oppressive systems… And given that so many powerful ed-tech tools (Logo, Scratch, Arduino, micro:bit) are rooted in FLOSS values…
Why is conversation about digital sovereignty, platform hegemony, technofeudalism, digital rights, and critical digital pedagogy still so marginal in...

Today, Sugar Labs is hosting a Generative AI development showcase, where we're demoing audio-ti-midi musical transcription, a lesson plan generator, a playful "persona" app, and more. Make sure to attend it today at 1pm EDT (17:00 UTC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKyf_awMK4w

A discussion in our Matrix chat today:

Q: What is Constructionism?

A: "It is a bit more than learn by doing. We add some additional components: (1) scaffolding in the form of well-designed microworlds; (2) collaborative environment that includes peer and mentors; (3) tools for reflection; (4) the ability to share and expand upon the tools and the content." -- @walterbender
