Differencies between Contructivism and Constructionism

Professor one day you told me that Constructivism and Contructionist are different, so here I post the definitions.
Constructivism is a theory of knowledge, it says that we learn from our prior knowledge, learner learn by doing.

In fact, constructivism is a theory describing how learning happens, regardless of whether learners are using their experiences to understand something.

Constructionist:It holds that learning can happen most effectively when people are also active in making tangible objects in the real world. The learner contructs a meaninful product. It is "learning by making".
Example: In a science fair you contruct sometime that can clean the water, or you construct a new an artifact to excercise.
WIKIPEDIA

What I learned from this course.

This course gave me a lot tools to develop what I have learned during this major in many ways. One example is that I used Wiki for two of my presentation in different course, one was in Psichology, and the other one in Literature. So, it gave a many creative ways to prepare materials, and presentations.
One year ago I used the BLOG in another course, but every thing I used form it was very simple, here I learned more applications like, how to upload a video, place link in a organize way, link information with google docs among others. Also, I have learned how to use many application just by dicovering them by my self, that happened to me with the creation of the you tube video.
I might say that besides technology, I learned how to organize a schedule, as Laura did, very clear instructions, with videos and materials to study.It facilitated my learning process, and made me feel motivated.
Also, I think that many of the topics that the teacher assigned us to present in class were very relevant, as the use of educative software, it will help me as future teacher to chose one according to my students' needs.

WIKI

Our Wiki was based on an experience we had with students of Máximo Quesada High School, Patarra. These students had cognitives needs, familiar and social issues. We made a Motivational Workshop, and we published on the Wiki all our experiences, insights, and knowledge we got from this activity.
This Wiki will provide you with very useful information about how to motivate a student, who does not want to work in class, but also it is a way to let you know that there are thing beyond our students' interaction with their classmates and with us in class.

Evaluation Rubric

EVALUATION

I would like to say that the rucric about evaluating GROUP WORK should be graded by the professor, but also by the students who made the project with this person, because sometimes not all of them work or participate.

So, in my opinion another Rubric chart should be given to the students to grade his/her classmates.This is just an idea, in my case the group I am working with is VERY NICE AND COLABORATIVE.
