Definition: offers a social networking and microblogging service, enabling its users to send and read other users' messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page. Tweets are publicly visible by default, however senders can restrict message delivery to their friends list.

Why set up a wiki in the first place? 

Well, in terms of use with colleagues:

  • To create a common document that can be easily edited by a number of people

  • To encourage collaboration

  • To document ideas and activities which would either remain static or ephemeral 

And for students:

  • To develop teamwork and collaborative skills

  • To have a place to demonstrate what they have learned

  • To help them to gain an understanding of the changing nature of knowledge

Constructivism

 

Definition

Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in. Each of us generates our own “rules” and “mental models,” which we use to make sense of our experiences. Learning, therefore, is simply the process of adjusting our mental models to accommodate new experiences.

Theorist

Jean Piaget is a Swiss psychologist who began to study human development in the 1920s. His proposed a development theory has been widely discussed in both psychology and education fields. To learn, Piajet stressed the holistic approach. A child contructs understanding through many channels: reading, listening, exploring and experiencing his or her environment.
