`I found this book stimulating and easy to read and would encourage anyone who is concerned with distance education to read it' - Computer Education `Interesting, informative and clearly written. It is a rich source of material on several fronts. Some of its value comes from its broad perspective, some from it being a detailed case' - Open Praxis This book is about the convergence of two important streams of educational innovation: distance education and the educational use of personal computers (PCs). During the 1970s and 1980s, distance education became a significant aspect of the post-school educational provision of many countries. Every indication is that this trend will con

Contains an extensive bibliography and index.

In this revolutionary book, a renowned computer scientist explains the importance of teaching children the basics of computing and how it can prepare them to succeed in the ever-evolving tech world. Computers have completely changed the way we teach children. We have Mindstorms to thank for that. In this book, pioneering computer scientist Seymour Papert uses the invention of LOGO, the first child-friendly programming language, to make the case for the value of teaching children with computers. Papert argues that children are more than capable of mastering computers, and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging in the classroom can change the way we learn everything else. He also shows that schools saturated with technology can actually improve socialization and interaction among students and between students and teachers. Technology changes every day, but the basic ways that computers can help us learn remain. For thousands of teachers and parents who have sought creative ways to help children learn with computers, Mindstorms is their bible.
