Happy birthday to Mike also from Italy!!
Here we have a couple of generations of students reading Cole's work finally available also in our national language. His ideas have been influential and they determined a new trend in the discussion about the mission of psychology in general and educational psychology in particular.

I am very grateful to Mike for his support in this operation. His vision of education is one of the most inspiring experience I had myself

Happy birthday "master"

Beatrice

Thanks Bella.
My son reminded me that 83 is a prime number, and a friend informed me that I
have been keeping on for 30,316 days.

Taking it a day at a time.

Shalom in every sense of the word.

For various reasons I’ve been thinking about the uses of CHAT.  Here is a book that is not getting much publicity for some reason, despite the flood of sudden consciousness about the power of AI.  The authors (Bonnie Nardi is an XCMA participant from way back) lay out the analytic framework with a swift trip through Activity Theory:

I did a review of it for the Journal of Labor and Society a few years ago — wow, 2018!

An important point that they make is that AI is not just about job replacement, but the value of the free work that is swept up by algorithms to form capital.
