Episode 8: Webinar with Gary Stager Part 2

Meaningful Making

In this second installment of three, you’ll join Stager in a discussion with the FabLearn Fellow about the difference between instructionism and constructionism, the importance of instilling students’ pride in their work, and whether tis nobler to document or not to document.

He worked closely with Seymour Papert on a number of projects. He led professional development in the world’s first laptop schools and played a major role in the early days of online education. He is the founder of the Constructing Modern Knowledge summer institute for educators. He and our very own Sylvia Martinez are the authors of Invent to Learn.
