Concrete Operational Stage (Ages 7 to 11) • Inferred reality • Transitivity • Seriation • Decentered Thought • Class Inclusion
Formal Operational Stage (Age 11 to Adult) • Hypothetical Situations • Systematic Reasoning • Symbolic Thinking
Piaget and Technology • Developmental, children are using technology earlier than he would have believed. • Children would be using technology at the formal operational stage. • Reality: children are using technology starting from the preoperational stage.
Constructivism and Technology • Students must be given opportunities to construct knowledge through their own experiences. • They cannot be "told" by the teacher. • Less emphasis on directly teaching specific skills and more emphasis on learning in a meaningful context. • Promoted by technology • Wiki spaces, and commenting on journals. • Groups presentations
