Hey, Steve... I reread Mindstorms every year with my graduate students =
at St. Michael's College in Burlington, Vt. It is a treasure -- as are =
many of Semour's later writing.
I'm mostly interested in hearing if someone has come upon a recently =
published book for helping teachers enjoy programming with cool ideas =
and grounded in Logo constructivist philosophy.

Hi Craig,
I'd be interested in the MicroWorlds answer myself! As to Logo =
philiosphy, I think the commonly held response would be Seymour Papert's =
'Mindstorms, Children Computers and Powerful Ideas'. In terms of =
technology it's dated, but in respect of the philosphy of Logo, I really =
liked it. Good luck with finding it!
Steve
