    The Children's Machine
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2007*

The Children's Machine addresses the many ways students learn. Papert uncovers the reality that students learn opposite of how our westernized world sees this process. According to Papert, students learn naturally outside the four walls of a classroom in which literacy is seen as only teachable through textbooks. The Children's Machine uncovers the deficiencies by which most schools run that prevents students from learning as they should, in a self-directed manner where there are answers other than yes or no. Shades of grey are more accepted in Papert's constructivist view of education he outlines in the book rather than the "official theory" of learning which only sees black and white. Papert has self-created the LOGO program, MicroWorlds. With this program, Papert further illustrates how students can learn without restrictions. Students are encouraged to experiment and use the computer as a tool to shape their own thinking. Mistakes are encouraged, as these mistakes will be formed into discoveries. Another recommended read: Mindstorms.

    Still Insightful
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2017*

The writings of Seymour Papert are still relevant today.  The changes he called for so long ago are still necessary.  Worthwhile reading.  Papert is insightful and got the mental wheels spinning.
