Diatribe and dialogue surrounding the proliferation of constructivist software on the internet. Quoting Seymour Papert, the author's main complaint is that "The word 'constructivist' has been so battered around and given so many different meanings that it should be discarded. Or else returned to its original sense... the original meaning of constructivism is a theory of learning and not a strategy for teaching." Is there a market for purely constructivist software in education? Interesting argument, dozens of links to further discussion.
