Forward from Beginners list.

Hi all,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/childhood/

I still don't have time to actually get start with Squeak or Croquet, but been reading and thinking about S Papert and Alan Kay etc, for sometime (like a decade) - and I found listening to those programs giving me some very captivating moments.

Program title has 'childhood' emphasized but it is possible to say the entire program is about some elements/ingredients of history of modern education - how it has been.

I heard episode 3 - about Locke and Rousseau, and I thought of posting to this list but hesitated. Just now hearing about Dickens and Christmas - episode 4, made me decided not to think about twice.

I wonder this might be more suitable for squeak-dev list, but I am not a subscriber to that list, so if someone finds it's adequate, please post the link. I wonder it might also be interesting or meaningful to people working on OLPC too.

Hope some find it good and useful.

Thanks,

A.
