                The individuals below all use Constructionist
                             learning theories

            Department at San Francisco State University. His
            graduate class, Cyberspace Humanities, was one of
            the first to examine the impact of the Internet on
            human perception and experience in relation to the
            Humanities. (I highly recommend this class!) Prof.
