Forward 100: A New Way of Learning

Written as a follow-up to his best-selling, multi-edition book Computers and Your Child, Viking/Penguin published Forward 100 in 1985. The title words refer to a common instruction in the LOGO computer language, which was popularised for educational use by Professor Seymour Papert of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In the 1980’s, there was a strong feeling that children should be taught how to understand computers (rather than the other way around), and Forward 100 provides an historical insight into how this movement developed in the USA and the UK.
