| How both cognitive and affective processes play a central role in building connections between old and new knowledge. The book investigates how and why children can learn through the process of constructing artifacts such as games, textile patterns, robots and interactive devices. It examines the nature of learning in classroom communities, inner-city communities, and virtual communities, and discusses new technological tools and activities that can help people develop new ways of thinking about feedback, self-organization and probability. | ||
