Research shows that attitudes about science, math, and technology start to form during early education. This book shows how to successfully use technology in the classroom, using a [[constructivist]] approach to teaching and learning. Bers focusses on robotic manipulatives that allow children to explore complex concepts in a concrete and fun way (Bers,2008).
