Sharing Constructions
Beyond simply discussing constructions, students can use computer networks to share certain types of
constructions with one another. In that way, students can try out one another's constructions, and perhaps copy
and reuse parts of each other's constructions.
On the World Wide Web, students can create pages for others to see. But the Web is very limited in the types of
constructions that it can support. Currently, it is used primarily for displaying "passive" data forms such as text,
images, and videos. Students can not easily post animations, simulations, and other process-oriented artifacts
that they construct.
