Mindlab Collaborative task: Week 4
Having defined the difference between 'constructivism' and 'constructionism' and then figuring out which category we fell in when we were doing our scratch makey makey activity it became evident that we tended toward the 'constructivism'. Vogotsky's theory is based around construction of one's own knowledge and building on it.
For us we built on our schemata -(prior knowledge) and worked collaboratively together to produce the master-piece, 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'.
In effect working together in our group, both collaboratively and co-operatively enabled a successful authentic learning experience. Seemingly this have proven the combination of collaboration and cooperation went hand-in-glove and for us all it was most engaging and more importantly fun.
Conclusively, we feel the two are inseparable for 21st century learning.
