Discuss this shift in the Internet in terms of constructivism and implications for using technology in the classroom.

 
From the article in this week’s reading, “Web 1.0 was characterized by the existence of passive web-sites and applications providing information. Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration on the WWW.”

• Discuss this shift in the Internet in terms of constructivism and implications for using technology in the classroom.
• Points to consider (address at least two of these):
  • Classroom resources.
  • Student view of technology (social tool, educational tool, something that is new and cool to use, etc.).
  • Student interaction with technology.
  • Opportunities to use technology in the classroom.
  • Connecting with students outside the classroom.

You are asked to see Mr. Basset, who is 80 years old, currently living alone, and has recently lost his wife. His children do not live nearby, but Mr. Basset sees them on holidays. Mr. Basset was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and has had an unexplained weight loss of 20 pounds in 3 months. He is getting chemotherapy as well as taking oral medication for hypertension and arthritis, and is showing signs of dehydration.
Mr. Basset reports that his wife did most of the cooking and he has limited cooking skills. He usually has cereal with milk and coffee for breakfast and soup for a second meal later in the day. He eats crackers throughout the day if he is hungry, but admits that he doesn’t have much of an appetite. In addition, Mr. Basset has ill-fitting dentures and claims that food just does not taste the same. He is also on a limited budget.
