Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas

This influential book explores how children can interact with computers to develop deep mathematical and cognitive concepts. Drawing on constructivist learning theory, the author introduces the Logo programming language as a tool that empowers young learners to take charge of their own intellectual growth. Through practical examples and theoretical insights, the text reimagines traditional educational environments to foster independent thinking and computational fluency.
