<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Steve Wart and I are interested in using Lively for applications that appeal to mainstream development needs. But I do want to discuss education a bit.<br>
<br>I have not read in depth about constructionist learning. Is the goal to 1. help students learn overall or 2. teach them how to program? Can anyone <b>point me to</b> really compelling, killer examples of constructionist learning which are not focused on simply teaching students how to program?<br>
<br><b>The most compelling example I can think of - for using Lively in education overall - is applying the concept of encapsulation to learning and to sciences.</b><br><br>I'm asking right now because soon I want to make a couple of mockups relating to education.<br>
