• Treat yourself to a carnival of exciting classroom possibilities! This will be a fast-paced, light hearted session guaranteed to tickle your geeky side while delighting the teacher in you who wants to motivate and inspire your students. The session will highlight some enthralling resources, including free tools that you can master quickly. See innovative virtual and augmented reality apps and artificial intelligence devices and how teachers used them to enhance remote learning experiences. There will be an update about inexpensive little drones and robots, and how kids are learning coding in a very active way. Hear about technologies and innovative ideas that do not yet exist at the time this session was proposed. Evidence of successful implementation will be presented in the form of research-based documentation of learning outcomes. The term “Electronic Constructivism” was coined by this presenter who will link these technologies to what it is all about: Good Teaching. No experience necessary - just your curiosity, enthusiasm about teaching, and a sense of humor.

My research is grounded in constructivist and experiential learning theory, developed and influenced by John Dewey, Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, and Jerome Bruner. Information about the technology and resources will have been gathered by electronic sources and will include articles, manufacturer’s sites, and blogs. Given the nature of the emerging, and rapidly changing, field of virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence, the majority of the articles and web sites cited will be less than three months old at the time of this presentation.
