Unfortunately, the second Vygotsky article has a terminal case of link rot.
http://www.learning-theories.com/category/constructivist-theories has a quick summary of Vygotsky's key concepts and other Constructivist theories.
Visual learners and pragmatic teachers might prefer http://coe.sdsu.edu/eet/articles/sdtheory/index.htm.
Cheers,
Russell

Actually, Vygotsky did *not* ever say to put a teddy bear on your computer monitor. He recommended a hamster. Hamsters proved to double the rate of social development over bears and other furry animals. However, for me, I find neither as effective as good old Bert, a wise and witty character from Sesame Street to be my MKO.
P.S. Thanks, Russel for the links--the second one has an amazing flash animation showing a transformation from a traditional cognitivist lecture room to a ZPD collaborative classroom.

Or speak to good old Eliza:

or design your own online character:
For a 3-D design of your teddybear there is always good old:
I am a huge fan of Vygotsky, and think it's great the impact of mediation that he identified with language has now been applied to technology. However, I don't think he had so much to say about the 'learning of the teacher' (but would love to hear about it if he did).
Anyone who has been a teacher will know of the moment when one's own understanding leaps as we explain something to another see

Hi
my daughter is 10 to-day. Her teddy is called Brown Teddy' (BT). BT has been lost, wet,cold, in the hold, threatened, but ultimately 'loved'.
The ZPD requires all of human life to relate with all of human life. The power of constructivism is that we are all in it together - Yes put BT on top of the monitor, but relate to people through it.......
Hope I make a little sense

Alan, do you use musictheory.net at all?For those who don't know it, the admirable author allows free download of the whole site (HTML and SWF files), which will run on a stand-alone computer, and probably in a Files area in a Moodle course.
Cheers

Ward - Not surprisingly, there actually is a teddy bear that serves as a covert webcam. Peace - Anthony
Somehow, I find that rather disturbing. Remembering a freer childhood, I find it worrying that today's children are surveilled from the scanned foetus to the digitally imaged baby, to the web cammed child. The good thing is that children, being inventive will rise above it and work around the restrictions.
