Discussing the future value of computers as tools for cognitive development, the volume reviews past literature and presents new data from a Piagetian perspective.
Constructivism in the Computer Age includes such topics as: teaching LOGO to children; the computers effects on social development; computer graphics as a new language; and computers as a means of enhancing reflective thinking.
"The volume's strong suit is theoretical speculation and interesting examples of technology use....There is no serious lobbying for new types of schools or reform of school curricula. In this regard, the chapters are likely to spark the interest of educational practitioners to try some new activities....we find the volume to be provocative and imaginative and highly recommend it to all readers interested in exploring new ideas about the power of computer environments to enhance intellectual development."
