This document summarizes Natalie Stevens' presentation on constructivist learning and the use of Web 2.0 tools. The presentation discusses how Web 2.0 tools can support constructivist learning principles by increasing student engagement, collaboration, and self-directed learning. It also reviews literature on using technologies like wikis, podcasting, and social media to create constructivist learning environments that motivate students and help them build a deeper understanding of content. However, the presentation notes that more research is still needed to understand the limitations of using these tools in education.
