The 4th Annual Constructivist Celebration at ISTE

Maggiano's Little Italy
500 16th Street

Denver, Colorado

Sunday June 27, 2010

8:30 AM - 3:30 PM

The Constructivist Celebration is an opportunity for you to let your creativity run free with the world's best open-ended software tools in a great setting with enthusiastic colleagues who share your commitment to children, computing, creativity and constructivism. You might think of this stimulating event as a spa day for your mind and soul!

Best of all, the Constructivist Celebration at ISTE 2010 is being held within a few minute walk of the Denver Convention Center, home of the ISTE Conference.

At the Constructivist Celebration, you will enjoy five hours of creativity on your own laptop using open-ended creativity software provided by consortium members FableVision, Inspiration, LCSI, and Tech4Learning. Representatives of Consortium Members Generation YES and SchookIT will assist with project development.

Creative computer-using educators deserve to eat like an Italian prince. That’s why this year’s Constructivist Celebration includes Continental breakfast, mid-morning refreshment, three-course Italian lunch and afternoon snacks. This is in addition to the free creativity software and Imagine it2 DVD each participant will receive. The Constructivist Celebration is an incredibly affordable event!

The event ends with project sharing and multimedia inspiration from the producers of the documentary, Imagine it! and Imagine it!²
