Scratch that: MIT's Mitchel Resnick Says Kids Should Do It for Themselves
Traylor, Scott
Technology & Learning, v29 n1 p27 Aug 2008
Mitchel Resnick is a researcher, inventor, and professor at MIT's Media Laboratory in Cambridge, MA, and the founder of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT. He is the lead innovator behind many cutting-edge learning technologies and projects for children, including the Computer Clubhouse, PicoCrickets, and the wildly successful consumer product, Lego Mindstorms. His latest innovations surround a product he calls Scratch, a digital creativity tool that helps facilitate expression, communication, concepts in interactivity and programming, presentation development, and community-based learning. This article presents an interview with Resnick about his thoughts on his latest project and what effect technology should have on teaching and learning.
