Dan Kearney chats with Dr. Gary Stager, teacher, professor, author, and consultant (among other things) and a true constructivist. Gary is the founder of the Constructing Modern Knowledge summer institute for educators and the co-author of Invent To Learn – Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom.
Dan and Gary talk about Gary’s dear friend, the late Seymour Papert, and the meaning of a computer in a classroom, phones in schools, Gary’s experience teaching in a prison in Maine, and why reading from actual books is so vital.
