Working with handicapped kids *does* mean that Logo is a hobby - one I 
share with teachers in Europe who work at many different levels. It is 
practical experience that has led me to consider matters theoretical.

In the UK I am working with others (more able than myself) to develop an 
appropriate understanding of the computer in education. Logo is an 
important catalyst for this. We hope to be able to define new learning 
which assumes the computer and for which static media like books are 
inadequate. This clashes with our millennia old academic culture 
(particularly in the filed of mathematics). As our formulations are in 
their infancy we are still refining them. I am very grateful to all who 
counter the arguments we put forward for they help us sharpen our 
conceptions.

Many thanks
