["Dale R. Reed" <dale-reed@postoffice.worldnet.att.net>]

The monthly "School to Work News" published by http://stwnews.com/  
dated August 1997 Vol 2 No 9 has a fine front page article with color
photograph of "Clubhouse to College/ Clubhouse to Career: Preparing for
Life in a Digital Word" by Gail Breslow and Dishon Mills.

And you LOGO folks should be most interested in: 

"The Clubhouse is a new kind of learning community, where young people
develop new skills and new ways of thinking about learning and about
themselves." explains Mitchel Resnick, MIT Media Lab professor and
Clubhouse co-founder.  Whereas most schools and community-access centers
see the computer lab as a place to teach basic computer techniques(such
as keyboarding) and applications(such as word processing), the Clubhouse
views the computer with a different mindset.  "At the Clubhouse, youth
become designers and creators--not just consumers--of computer-based
products," says Resnick.  In the process, they become fluent with
technologies that are transforming our workplaces and our lives.
