KAM III will concentrate on the principles of system change as they relate to the integration of technology in the constructivist public school classroom in the United States. The Breadth portion of this KAM will synthesize the concept of system change and constructivist theories of learning to provide a framework for this study. The Depth section will be an overview of current educational practices in order to evaluate the impact of technology in the constructivist classroom. Through a thorough examination of constructivist principles and educational systems, this paper will provide a synthesis of the transformation of educational practices. This synthesis will be applied to elementary aged students in order to describe a model of the technologically advanced constructivist classroom.
