Constructionism vs Constructivism

Please don't read too much into the word "Constructionism" in the
readme file for my Combinations stack. The book I just finished used
both terms "Constructionism" and "Constructivism," so when I typed the
readme, I typed one instead of the more accepted other. I did not
intend to imply Papert over Piaget or any other flavor of the idea that
students build their knowledge internally rather than gather it in
predetermined chunks from outside.
Also, I did not mean to imply that my stacks are particularly
Constructivist in nature. They're not. I hope that my designs will
lean more that direction in the future.
