Wk4 Questions

Here's my questions for this week:

1.) Resnick discusses the differences between learning in school and outside of school. Specifically, she discusses the use of tools and the individual nature of the education system. Tools and social tasks were used more outside of school. With this in mind, how do we get past the constructs of the school systems to allow social computing and social activities within our schools?

2.) How does the goal definition between traditional instructional design differ from the goal definition of the ecological perspective?

3.) How can we use social computing to help mediate the disparity between what Salomon & Perkins call “high-road” and “low-road” learning?


Notes:

Behaviorism -> Cognitivism -> Constructivism (Cognitive, Constructionism, Social Constructivism)

Can a rich enough "social constructivist" environment, lead to a stimulus/response similar to behaviorism?

Is it more important to have social skills or broad knowledge?
