Resource Journal 1 Concept to Classroom :)

I recently visited a website called "Concept to Classroom" that I believe gives educators a great way to incorporate the philosophy of constructivism and the use of technology in the classroom. This webpage gives educators good ideas for lessons in any grade level or subject. Example, many teachers like to begin new ideas or learning objectives with graphic organizers. This site suggests using a software called inspiration. Inspiration is a great computerized graphic organizer with lots of color to keep you students attention. Great tool for interacting with and entire or class or it can be a group project either way the students get involved during the learning process. I love this software. The site also features other ideas this is just one of them.

This link also gives the reader a good explanation of what Constructivism means which I thought was helpful. What do you think?
