Social+Constructivism

=Social Constructivism=

Much of online learning today is based on the theory of Social Constructivism. The challenge is to use technology so the learning can be socially constructed in real and authentic ways. That we meet this challenge becomes even more crucial when we consider that Christensen, Horn, and Johnson (2008) predict that over half of all high school classes will be taught online by 2019 -- and their book, //Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change How the World Learns//, was published before the financial crisis.
