Demonstration

Using current research and the theories of Jonassen, Bruner, and Toffler as a foundation, the researcher will write a 10 page paper describing a technologically advanced constructivist school system for elementary aged students. The design will be structured around the theories of constructivism and systems change to give an overview of a new school system not based on the factory model, and provide an in-depth analysis of the technologies and best practices used in the new setting.
