Welcome to our site! This blog was done in partial requirement for Education 3490 at Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador. We start with the Historical Context of Constructivism and move right up to sample activities for primary and elementary classrooms. To get started readers should begin with our first post on The History of Constructivism. Happy reading!!
