Constructivist teaching methods are IMHO essential, especially as we move into this new world with such powerful tech tools being at our disposal. More experienced staff haven’t had the exposure one would expect but all the prac students currently at the school are conversant with this theory.

If we decide to use Moodle, and I think we will, this theory will be of even more importance if teaching and learning is to be enhanced at the school. Systematic planning for TPL can take place as whole school systems are developed strategically eg using IWBs, laptops, Moodle and the philosophy of constructivist pedagogy using ICT. This link may help you understand Moodle.

More explanation of the various models of teaching and learning (scroll down) can be found at the excellent MyRead website (a must for English/literacy PD with some excellent, practical T&L strategies).
