Knowledge construction is a process that helps students to draw conclusions and create evidence of their new understandings. In this session, participants will learn more about this constructivist strategy of teaching and learning. In order to construct knowledge, students must have access to the correct scaffolds and tools. One such tool is Wakelet. This session will introduce participants to Wakelet and the features that make it the perfect knowledge construction tool.
