This essay invites you to identify components of sociocultural theory (stemming from the work of Vygotsky) to real life educational settings. To do this, first watch the Tinkering School TED Talk video from Gever Tulley (https://www.ted.com/talks/gever_tulley_s_tinkering_school_in_action?language=en). After considering the video, discuss the various aspects of sociocultural theory that are exemplified or illustrated by the video.
This essay invites you to discuss ways that the Funds of Knowledge approach used by teachers is an antidote for deficit theories of student achievement. In order to do this, please apply what you know about the Funds of Knowledge approach to a real life setting, by watching the short film "Caine's Arcade" (https://youtu.be/faIFNkdq96U) (you may consider watching the follow up video to the original if your time permits. seeCainesarcade.com for both) and discuss elements of Caine's funds of knowledge, or Caine's life and environment that Caine's teachers could leverage to design lessons in his school.
