Seymour Papert

Unfortunately, from what I can find on the web and at this link, The Learning Barn, Seymour Papert is only working on getting himself healthy again after a horrible traffic accident. But I did do a bit of background research on this apparently amazing guy. He is pretty much the one who started the educational wave of technology we have today. Back in the 60's people laughed at him because he talked about children using computers as instruments of learning. He is credited with inspiring the first intuitive aimed at giving a personal computer to every student in a state. You can find more information and papers he has written at this link, Professor Seymour Papert.
