Until we upgraded to PowerMacs, I taught LOGO to my students and loved
doing it. I was hooked on his metacognitive approach and learned a lot
myself when I wrote LOGO programming. But our school could not afford
to upgrade the software after we upgraded the hardware and MicroWorlds
duplicates much of HyperStudio for which we have a site lisence, . . .
and so it goes.
I am personally disappointed at the expense (and expensive marketing)
of LCSI and Lego Dacta. My impression is that private schools or
well-funded "gifted" programs have the most access to Papert's
curriculum (I use the term loosley, I don't think he would refer to it
as a curriculum.)
If they can't get it, it can't influence them.
