Berni Dwan's talk with Seymour Papert about how computers amplify the intellectual capabilities of children. Irish Examiner, 22 October 2004
The computer is not information, it's building material � something constructive�
Things that are in our culture, children learn easily � things that are not, they don't�
Children need to be active producers rather than passive consumers if they are to benefit from technology� The idea that the kids need to program the computer is absolutely essential. It is so anti-educational that you put this thing into the hands of children and let them be consumers of software rather than having them produce it. I think that the schools are being irresponsible too � they should be giving a lead in how to use computers in effective ways. - Seymour Papert
