Children are natural learners; we just need to get out of their way.

The computer offers us the opportunity to rethink what learning means.

Play is the work of childhood.

We need to empower children to be creators, not just consumers.

The computer is a mirror that reflects our own thinking.

Learning is a process of making sense of the world.

The best way to understand something is to build it.

We should not underestimate the power of children's minds.

The computer is a medium for self-expression.
