Introducing micro-computers to micro-learners through play

Computers, once available exclusively to wealthy industries, are now rapidly becoming as familiar in preschool and kindergarten classrooms as block and crayons. Articles making claims such as "Learning by Computers at Age 4" and "Computers Preparing Preschoolers for Kindergarten" now permeate the news media. Increasing numbers of child care centers, attempting to maximize public interest in computers, now readily advertise "Computer Tutor" in their literature. "Computer Tutor" is often even listed above other important qualifications such as "certified teachers" and "professional affiliations" of centers.
