Food for thoughtSocial constructionism states...

1. All of us are potential teachers as well as learners

2. We learn well from expressing something for others

3. We learn through observing peer activity

4. By understanding learner context, we can teach more effectively

5. A learning environment needs to be flexible & adaptablehttp://docs.moodle.org/en/Pedagogy
