“Three categories of [computer] usage were
outlined in Robert Taylor’s seminal book on the
subject, The Computer in School: Tutor, Tool,
Tutee. (Taylor, 1980).”

“To [Seymour] Papert, the strength
of the computer lies in none of
these categories. It is a material to
be ‘messed about with.’ The act
of messing about, which we
might call tinkering, is where the
learning happens. The computer
provides a flexible material that
the child can weave into their own
ideas and master for their own
purposes.”
