Howie's question-Jonassen says that people us each of the mindtools he describes to model the world in a different way. What do you think of this idea?
Jonassen says that "when students teach the computer, they represent their internal, mental modes in different ways using different programs." This enables learning to become more tailored to an individual's style of learning and view of the world. Using mindtools allows students to externalize what had only been an internal thought process. This is highly individualist and enables that unique modeling spoken about in the initial question.
I agree with Paul that this speaks to the idea of constructivist learning in that mindtools, in general, allow personal representations of learning to be evidenced.
In what way does any of these mindtools model the world? Or, what different kinds of thinking are used when we use different mindtools to model the world?
