You should know my friend Brian Silverman! He is an unsung hero in educational computing and he’ll be at Constructing Modern Knowledge this July 12-15 in Manchester, NH. If you or your students ever used Apple Logo, LogoWriter, MicroWorlds, programable LEGO, Scratch or dozens of other programming environments for children, there is a good chance […]

The following is a video documenting the 2009 Constructing Modern Knowledge summer institute in Manchester, NH – July 13-16, 2009, through the lenses of Karen Gerstner, Mary Del Biano and Maryann Molishus.

I am still exhausted from the exhilaration of Constructing Modern Knowledge 2009. We enjoyed an incredibly active four days – jam packed full of once-in-a-lifetime experiences and project development time.

The goal of Constructing Modern Knowledge is to provide a space in which learning is the consequence of experience and where you don’t hear a series of speakers, but work with leading experts and enjoy intimate conversations with them while collaborating on personally meaningful projects. Therefore, the program listed below is a guide detailing appointments, rather than a rigid schedule of events allowing no flexibility.

I am thrilled to welcome an amazing Italian educator has been added to the Constructing Modern Knowledge 2009 faculty, Dr. Lella Gandini.

I often tell people that I am “Photoshop disabled.” I know how to use about 1% of what Photoshop can do and am often confused by the software. Lesa Snider is such an amazing teacher that her clever examples and clear presentation helps me understand the complexities of this critical software. Her expertise in digital photography and image manipulation allows her to tailor instruction for any learner. I’m thrilled that Lesa Snider is part of the Constructing Modern Knowledge 2009 faculty.

I created these spiffy graphics for friends of Constructing Modern Knowledge to place on their web sites or blogs. I’d really appreciate your assistance in spreading the word about this summer’s event.
