We just finished going through the Constructivist Theory webquest and created a GoAnimate presentation to share what we learned. The Constructivist Theory really focuses on getting the students involved and learning by exploring the content. One way to do this is the 5E lesson plan. The five E's are engagement/excitement, exploration, explanation, extension/expansion/elaboration, and evaluation. These five components ensure that students are interested, actively doing something, and then that their learning is clarified and evaluated. One way of doing this type of lesson with technology is by creating a web-quest. By giving students a problem, they can then explore it further. See our GoAnimate presentation about this below.

GoAnimate would have been more helpful if it was free. For example, our video could only be 2 minutes long so we had to edit some of it out. There were only two girls and there are three of us so we had to choose other characters. Overall, it was pretty easy to use. It just would have been nice if there were more available features for free.
Sarah discusses the 5 E's in her blog. Check it out!
