The Pioneers

This blogpost has been compiled for those of you who are searching for information on educational theorists at the moment - I hope it points you in the right direction!
To start off with, you may want to search Britannica Online (E-Resources), which gives brief introductions to many key theorists. I would also suggest looking at David Renfree's 'Theorists in 140' post, covering all the popular theorists very well, along with links to further useful sources of information. 
There are a number of related books (listed below), some of which are also available online (Dawson Books via E-Resources):
