Write a paragraph response that defends the position that the constructivism view toward learning being a collaborative effort to build a common knowledge base is an effective theory for 21st century educational technology?

Cognitive research has uncovered successful patterns in tutorial, mentoring, and group discussion interactions. However, typical Internet chat and bulletin-board systems do not support a constructivist approach to learning and instruction. During the 1990s, researchers created tools such as Knowledge Forum, the Knowledge Integration Environment, and Co Vis to more fully address constructivist principles. Each of these tools invites collaboration by structuring the kinds of contributions learners can make, supporting meaningful relationships among those contributions, and guiding students' inquiries. Teachers who use information and communication technologies in their classrooms are more likely to have a constructivist perspective towards learning and instruction. Additionally, sophisticated information and technology communications tools can capture the cognitive processes learners engage in when solving problems. This affords teacher reflection and coaching to aid deeper learning. It also affords teachers the chance to learn from each other. Actually I cut and paste these from the internat. Please I want you to look at it. Does it answer the question or not. If yes, please rewrite it in simple word and if not, answer it please.

What is the factors underlying the digital divide?

Digital divide is the gab between people who have access of internet and those who are not.

There are many underlying cause of digital divide which are Access, gender, cost, culture, language, and education.

People who live in digital have countries have great access to variety of communication media and information, while other who live in digital have not countries cant access and use internet. Also, some people can afford internet access, while other cant, so it is cost factor. Education play role of digital divide because internet will not be useful for people who can not read. Geographical location may influence a person’s wealth or education. Wealthier families are more likely to have internet access at home. Furthermore, language is an important determinant of internet use, because of the majority of internet is English, so people who cant read English will not use internet as much as other people who know English. Gender is another factor. Most women have been online less than men and when they do go online they spend less time than the men do (Kennedy,Wellman&Klenent(2003). That may be because some cultural gender role on society. Please rewrite this paragraph for me.

Identifying the factors that in your opinion required education to adopt a systematic approach to addressing educational technological needs.

There are some process that we need in order to address educational technological needs. We need to make an strategy plan that let us to know where we are now and where we want to be in the future. The first step we need to conduct a survey for students and staff to provide some inputs. Then we should look for the survey findings to see what are the needs. After evaluating the need we should write a professional development plan that consider how the organization assess the technology professional development need of certified staff, administration, and non certified staff, technology professional development training available to certified staff, and how the effectiveness of the professional development training. We will also do other assessment to see if we achieve all the goals or not. If not we need to develop our objects. Moreover,we will look at first the money that we have and the type of technology that each class need. Please arrange and develop my idea.
