[Squeakland] Computer as Tutor

[Mankovsky, Sheine]

Thanks Doug.  I did a quick search on Amazon.com for the book but didn't
find anything.  I'd like to suggest a couple of options.  First, you find
the book, and do a summary/review for all of us....  Secondly, whoever is
interested, reads the book and we do a group analysis/discussion of it.
Would the forum be useful for such and endeavour? 

I did a quick Google search and found the following:

http://www.lists.pdx.edu/waoe-views/current/att-0016/Blowing_learning_to_bit
s.doc

Have a great weekend.
