<p>In this unit, we will consider the history of educational technology, introduce the theory of constructionism, and look at two projects inspired by it.<span style="line-height: 1.4em;"> </span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong style="line-height: 1.4em;">History of Educational Technology:</strong><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em;"> We will explore how technologies used in education have (or have not) affected the content and procedure of teaching and learning.</span></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 1.4em;">Constructionism & Related Educational Theories: </strong><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em;">Professor Susan Yoon discusses where the theory of constructionism came from and how it relates to the design of current educational technology. </span></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 1.4em;">Logo: </strong><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em;">Professor Hal Abelson presents a case study of an early programming language that enabled students to work with computers in a different way.</span></li>
<li><strong style="line-height: 1.4em;">Scratch Programming: </strong><span style="font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4em;">Professor Mitch Resnick and Ricarose Roque tell us about a modern-day descendant of Logo and give examples of how it is used. </span></li>
