Low threshold: how inclusive is Constructionism?

The paper discusses the degree of inclusiveness of the Constructionist theory when disabilities and special needs are concerned. It shows the impact of both technology and pedagogy used inside the regular curriculum when good inclusive practices are the goals. A complete case study is described to discuss this point, showing the experience, the materials, the supporting means and the approach. A brief state-of-the-art of Constructionism in the Italian educational system is also provided. In the discussion some answers are given to questions related to the educational approach and to the integration of technology, namely educational robotics, to support curricular disciplines in an inclusive scenario.
