Seymour Papert’s vision of the future of educational technology in the\u00a01970’s was incredibly accurate. His hope was for computers to be used as tools to ignite creativity and creation in young learners, thus becoming a conduit for endless\u00a0learning (Levin & Tsybulsky, 2017). Although most educational institutions did not adopt the computer in the way he hoped, his still vision\u00a0has strong supporters. Several authors in my bibliography hope to see his theory of Constructionism rise to the challenge of truly integrating technology into our children’s education and supporting their digital literacy.<\/p>\n

I chose to do Assignment #2 on the educational theory of Constructionism<\/strong>, a theory developed by the man Martinez & Stager refer to as the ‘Father of the maker movement’, Seymour Papert. (2013).\u00a0 My synthesis will focus on the theory of constructionism and how\u00a0Papert’s vision has not only survived for decades despite being largely ignored by educational institutions but is being supported and hailed as the foundation behind the ‘maker’ movement.<\/p>\n

Here is my spreadsheet of resources used to create the synthesis:<\/p>\n

The synthesis is yet to be written. Thanks for your patience!<\/p>\n
