Websites for Students in Constructivist Classrooms

All four of these websites were featured in Moving Towards Constructivist Classrooms, created in 2001 from a graduate student, Themla Cey, at University of Saskatchewan. This website entailed what Constructivism is and how to teach and learn in this way.

Website one is entitled Kid's Web, which is a digital K-12 library, is a site where students can do their own reading and research. I found it a great resource for all students looking to do research OR to read on their own all kinds of books.

Website two is entitled Exploratorium, which is an exploratory website for students to do research and ponder all kinds of questions and topics. It is almost blog-like, since kids can contribute to topics. It seems like a great resource for students in secondary elementary and above looking to do open-ended projects and research.

Website three is entitled BrainPop, which is an online resource for students in multiple areas of study, such as social studies or science, for example. Students can do all sorts of activities from this site ALL ON THEIR OWN. Very fun, interactive and attractive to the eyes!

Website four is entitled National Geographic for Kids, which is an online magazine resource for students to explore about the world and what inhabits it. It is an AMAZING resource for kids of all ages.
