1990s, Computers, Constructionism, Learning, Logo, Mathematics, School Reform, Teaching, uncategorized / By gary
On the NCTM Standards…..
“I think they [the Standards] are going in the right direction but they are incredibly conservative, from my point of view. But again, I’d make reservation that if one has to work within the framework for schools as they are and curriculum as it is, maybe there isn’t very much room for making radical change. One of the ways in which the council is conservative is that it does not make full use of a computer -based construction of learning. I think the would have done much better if they had originally integrated Logo in their proposals. But there is no question that an imaginative Logo-using teacher wants to follow these Standards can do it better with Logo.”
Seymour Papert
March/April 1990
Teaching and Computers – P. 23
