Abstract: Recent studies show that pupils are very enthusiastic when using robotic systems and robots in schools. However, these are mainly used only in extracurricular activities to learn about the robots, take part in different contests or for research purposes. The research and practice of integrating web-enhanced learning environments and inquiry learning with robots is almost absent. The purpose of this paper is to present preliminary results of such a pilot study conducted in Estonia. Pupils used web-based worksheets, robots and a programming environment to conduct an inquiry experiment in physics. These worksheets consisted of two principal parts that followed the hypothesis and the experiment space of inquiry cycle. First results indicated that pupils manage fine in such an environment and acquire more knowledge through practical tests and inquiry learning with the use of robots.

TL;DR: The gears of my childhood as discussed by the authors were a source of inspiration for many of the ideas we use in our own work, such as the notion of assimilation of knowledge into a new model.

Mindstorms: Children, Computers, and Powerful Ideas
TL;DR: Working with differentials did more for my mathematical development than anything I was taught in elementary school, and helped to endow mathematics with a positive affective tone that can be traced back to my infantile experiences with cars.

A Study of Thinking.
Abstract: A Study of Thinking is a pioneering account of how human beings achieve a measure of rationality in spite of the constraints imposed by bias, limited attention and memory, and the risks of error imposed by pressures of time and ignorance. First published in 1956 and hailed at its appearance as a groundbreaking study, it is still read three decades later as a major contribution to our understanding of the mind. In their insightful new introduction, the authors relate the book to the cognitive revolution and its handmaiden, artificial intelligence.
