- 3. What is constructivism? The term refers to the idea that learners construct knowledge for themselves — each learner individually (and socially) constructs meaning— as he or she learns. According to Audrey Gray, the characteristics of a constructivist classroom are as follows: · the learners are actively involved · the environment is democratic · the activities are interactive and student- centered · the teacher facilitates a process of learning in which students are encouraged to be responsible and autonomous “Constructivism does not claim to have made earth-shaking inventions in the area of education; it merely claims to provide a solid conceptual basis for some of the things that, until now, inspired teachers had to do without theoretical foundation.” – von Glasersfeld

- 6. From Presentation to Active Learning Technology can be an extension of our own abilities, intelligence and environment. • Causes us to think deeply and ask questions (Google receives several hundred million queries each day.) • Engages us with visual and audio • Allows all of us to express our ideas – from word processing with the use of coaching tools to creative arts • Promotes and Facilitates social interaction – web2.0 wikis, blogs, podcasts, video uploading and comments (YouTube has reached 20 hours of video uploaded every minute. That's 33 minutes of content every second or 28,800 hours per day.) "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn." Alvin Toffler

It is about social practices and relationships, about knowledge, language and culture. Those who use literacy take it for granted - but those who cannot use it are excluded from much communication in today's world. Indeed, it is the excluded who can best appreciate the notion of "literacy as freedom". UNESCO, taken from the introduction of Grades 1-8 Language Document
