[lively-kernel] Lively in Education

[Darius Clarke]

View the "Squeakers DVD<http://squeakland.org/resources/audioVisual/#cat547>"
clips 1 to 18 here <http://squeakland.org/resources/audioVisual/#cat547>for
a quick overview by some of the original minds behind constructionist
learning.

Then, maybe, Alan Kay's 2007 TED talk (on the same page as above).

I hope that helps. :)

Cheers,
Darius
