Summary: Positive Points from Seymour A. Papert's Generation Gap book
Review: Some of the most important things that I as an educator and parent took away from this book was the involvement of both the parents and teacher in the education of their children. My asessment of the book was that he uses the computer to increase the communication of all family members and show the uses of the computer. The one thing that stayed with me the most was the saying "Not why the computer but how the computer". That means to think of ways to include the computer in your everyday life. This is a book that all educators should have and encourage their students parents to get.

Summary: EDUC571- HERMANS
Review: The Connected Family by Seymour Papert is an enlightening approach to helping parents realize the importance of being in touch with technology. Our children are very familiar and his reference to the fact that we must close this generation gap is on target. This book has encouraged and still challenges me to learn all that I can about technology.

Summary: Family learning cultures respected
Review: What I like best about Papert's book is the attitude of respect toward children, parents, and the learning potential of families. He is an advocate for learning in non-traditional ways. The calm tone of the book and its overall good sense when talking about learning, intelligence, "learning disabilities," and the politics of School (his capitalization) are very helpful. To anyone who is worried about computers and children; To anyone who is enthusiastic about children and computers; To anyone who really wanted to understand computers and their potential better; I recommend this book. I teach developmental psychology at Ivy Tech State College; I also homeschool two sons who have never been at a conventional school.
