  This webquest is meant to guide educators to learn about and explore the notion of constructivism.

You are in a Learning & Teaching with Technology grad class and have been asked to read a chapter from Eleanor Duckworth's book, __"The Having of Wonderful Ideas" & Other Essays on Teaching & Learning__. As you read the text, you learn about Duckworth's seemingly strange assignment: keep a record book and note down every time you see the moon, "when and where [you] see it and what it looks like" (153). You realize that there is something more to this assignment than meets the eye, and that it all ties in to a theory of education.
