#31 - I found a website called Constructivsm: Knowledge Building in the Secondary Classroom. On one of the main pages there was a page called, "Constructivism as an Epistemology." This page contained a bulleted history on several theorists. Also, there were links provided that offered more information on each. This is an excellent resource for theorists. http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/constructivism/what/philosophy.html

This guy knew how technology was going to bew an essential classroom tool before anyone. http://www.papert.org/
