Educators from Across the Globe will Learn Together in Reggio EmiliaWe are thrilled to have educators from 7 nations and 5 continents already enrolled for The Language of Computation - Constructing Modern Knowledge in Reggio Emilia, April 14-17, 2025. Space is limited and registration prices increase on February 1st. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime learning adventure in a spectacular setting. Digital vs. Computational ProjectsIn order to understand project-based learning in the modern era, some distinctions are critical. In a new series of essays, Gary Stager explores the importance of computational projects in the educational diet of children. Read the first essay, Digital < Computational. Please feel free to share and discuss with your colleagues. Another Classic Added to Free Archive of Educational Computing BooksDan Watt’s enormously popular and seminal book about teaching computer programming to kids, Learning with Logo, is now freely available in PDF form. Although more than forty years old, Learning with Logo is essential reading for anyone teaching computer programming (Scratch, Logo, MakeCode, Snap!, Python, Lynx, etc…) to themselves or students. Explore this and related resources at The Daily Papert.
