This week we read about cybercoaching and constructivism. I fully agree with the idea of coaching. I wish I had more of an opportunity to do that with my f2f classes. I was more unsure about constructivism. I may need to do some more reading on it in order to really understand it and how to apply it. I did come across one website which simplified the concept: Constructivism as a Paradigm for Teaching and Learning. In theory I agree with it. With the current political environment concerning education, it may not be easy to implement, since ALL students are supposed to reach the same objectives and are tested in very traditional manner on those objectives.
I've created a pre-course survey to go with my final project course. Please check it out here: Cultural Diversity Pre-Course Survey. I created it on Zoomerang, which seemed easy enough to use right from the start.

Ruth I enjoyed your survey because of the various forms of questions. Students are more prone to complete the survey if there is a mixture like this.
