Welcome to CONSTRUCTIVISM 2.0 LEARNING CONFERENCE FALL 2013 media type="custom" key="24437064" "All humanity is divided into three classes: those who are immovable, those who are movable, and those who move!" Benjamin Franklin, 18th Century Through this online conference experience, we will look at constructivism as how it can be applied through the Web 2.0 tools available for the classrooms today.

To reflect a constructivist methodology we are encouraging participants to engage, explore, interact and reflect on your experience within this wiki and WEBQUEST journey. By the end of this conference, it is intended that participants will build their own understandings and knowledge of online tools (web 2.0) while making connections with what has been learned about constructivism.

Sir Ken Robinson states:

TED Talks (May 10th, 2013): Ken Robinson: How to escape education's death valley.
 * //"With organic systems, if the conditions are right, life is inevitable. It happens all the time. You take an area, a school, a district, you change the conditions, give people a different sense of possibility, a different set of expectations, a broader range of opportunities, you cherish and value the relationships between teachers and learners, you offer people the discretion to be creative and to innovate in what they do, and schools that were once bereft spring to life. //**
 * //Great leaders know that. The real role of leadership in education – and I think it’s true at the national level, the state level, at the school level – is not and should not be command and control. The real role of leadership is climate control, creating a climate of possibility. And if you do that, people will rise to it and achieve things that you completely did not anticipate, and couldn’t have expected." //**
