Abstract I begin by stating a small set of troublesome but pervasive educational issues. While these have remained in the background during our work, they have served as the impetus for developing and reflecting on possible roles for computer technology in classrooms. In the remaining sections of the paper I propose that the computer can serve as an effective mediator between action and symbol. After setting the scene in the Laboratory for Making Things, I give an extended example of how computer-as-mediator contributes to learning when played out in this rather unusual classroom.

摘要首先，我将阐述一小部分麻烦但普遍存在的教育问题。尽管这些在我们的工作中一直处于后台，但它们已成为开发和反思计算机技术在教室中可能扮演的角色的动力。在本文的其余部分中，我建议计算机可以充当动作和符号之间的有效中介者。在“制造实验室”中设定场景之后，我将给出一个扩展的示例，说明在这个颇为不同寻常的教室中演习时，计算机中介者如何促进学习。
