Learning by making and tinkering is not a new idea, nor is our belief in interest-based pathways for learning. Both of these concepts are fundamental to the work of foundational thinkers such as Froebel, Montessori, Dewey, Thorndike, Vygotsky, Papert and Csikszentmihalyi (amongst many others). Learning theories such as Constructivism<span id="Foot2"><sup>2</sup> and Connectivism,<span id="Foot3"><sup>3</sup> influence our work around Web Literacies along with notions such as <em>Flow</em> states<span id="Foot4"><sup>4</sup> and the importance of a sense of play. | Learning by making and tinkering is not a new idea, nor is our belief in interest-based pathways for learning.

We’re putting these learning theories into action through the Webmaker tools we’re creating but also through the badge system design accompanying our work in this area. Interest-based pathways through a series of (badged) challenges promote flow states through clear goals and immediate feedback. More about this can be found in the <strong>Webmaker badges</ | We’re putting these learning theories into action through the Webmaker tools we’re creating but also through the badge system design accompanying our work in this area.
