Constructivism is appertaining to process knowledge. It focuses on creating, making and process. Group work is another important factor of constructivism which is concerned with communication and interaction of group members. Because it leads to give change doing discussion and idea exchange. Learners can determine own right way with help of other ideas. They are able to reach different perspectives and catch change of evaluation these perspectives with own perspectives. Another point is that Technology gives chance all societies to reach education environment peacefully and directly so constructivism is main idea of integrating of technological tools. Students are the center of education so teachers are guidance of them with help of technology. Students can take responsibilities, gain problem solving aptitude, and be eager in group working activities. Technology leads to decrease stress level so students feel more activated while taking online classes. There are lots of apps for education environment such as Kahoot, Socrative, PowToon. Flipped learning is good strategy for increasing students’ participation to lessons because students can prepare their strategies before coming the lesson so they feel more confident and active. They are familiar to the topic before lesson and teacher can use authentic materials and at that time students can be part of the acquirement in natural, enjoyable and effective education environment. Today’s world has been fighting a worldwide pandemic so all intuitions have to close and technology gives a chance us to progress education life although there are lots of inequality.
There are few problems such as fake engagement, internet connection, welfare level of society and accessibility to technology. Fake engagement is about unwillingness of students who show fake attendance. They usually close their cameras and they do not give answers. Teachers pushes up them for attending class environment. They are in class, they seem like real listener but when teacher ask something, they cannot give answers.
In conclusion, technology is inseparable part of our lives especially in education life but there is key word being constructivist. Because constructivism is a philosophy so when teachers integrate this philosophy their lesson with the help of technology, they can construct a bridge between acquiring lesson and real life.
