Nalin, thank you for sharing this classic booklet. I remember seeing this at a Logo Foundation Institute, but it was a hard copy. I'm so happy to have my own digital copy now!

Nalin, I don't know how I missed this when you posted it. I was looking through different blogposts this morning. Wow. This is a GREAT little booklet.
I was just at Eric Rosenbaum's dissertation defense, "Explorations in Musical Tinkering" at the MIT Media Lab. Eric is one of the dudes who created MaKey MaKey at the Lifelong Kindergarten Lab. One of the things I wrote down was his definition of constructionism because I liked it very much: learning through making personally and socially meaningful artifacts.
Thanks sooo much!
