We have \u003ci\u003eMindstorms \u003c\/i\u003eto 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTechnology 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, \u003ci\u003eMindstorms \u003c\/i\u003eis their bible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeymour Papert (1928-2016)\u003c\/b\u003e was a professor of mathematics and education at MIT, where he co-founded the Artificial Intelligence and Media Laboratories.
