Do computers really help our children to read, write or think, or do they stifle their development, divert crucial resources, and substitute technology for teaching and learning? This book paints a compelling picture of how our uncritical rush to use computers in schools had led to an unhelpful revolution in education.

From educators to parents, everyone seems to be clamouring for state-of-the-art school computers in the pervasive belief that computer literacy provides children with a competitive edge in the professional and business world. But where is the evidence that computer use improves basic skills like reading, writing, and comprehension? The Child and the Machine is the first book of our time to challenge, credibly and rigorously, our obsession with a technology that, the authors contend, is wreaking havoc with our children`s lives. Drawing on hundreds of studies from North America, Europe and Japan, as well as first-hand accounts of classrooms across North America, the authors paint a sobering picture of the ineffectiveness of computers, and their negative effects on children`s educational development. Fortunately, The Child and the Machine also offers recommendations for correcting what the authors see as a potentially disastrous situation. Controversial and compelling, The Child and the Machine is bound to spark heated and prolonged debate among all those who care about education. The Child and the Machine won Book of the Year Award from Foreward Magazine (an American publishers magazine for the small presses) in the Education category. (1998)

What they find when they discover Mendoza is even worse than what they could imagined, and enough for them to decide to finally fight back against the Company.

A fascinating examination of technological utopianism and its complicated consequences. In The Charisma Machine, Morgan Ames chronicles the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explains why—despite its failures—the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt” education and development. Announced in 2005 by MIT Media Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South with a small, sturdy, and cheap laptop computer, powered by a hand crank. In reality, the project fell short in many ways—starting with the hand crank, which never materialized. Yet the project remained charismatic to many who were captivated by its claims of access to educational opportunities previously out of reach. Behind its promises, OLPC, like many technology projects that make similarly grand claims, had a fundamentally flawed vision of who the computer was made for and what role technology should play in learning. Drawing on fifty years of history and a seven-month study of a model OLPC project in Paraguay, Ames reveals that the laptops were not only frustrating to use, easy to break, and hard to repair, they were designed for “technically precocious boys”—idealized younger versions of the developers themselves—rather than the children who were actually using them. The Charisma Machine offers a cautionary tale about the allure of technology hype and the problems that result when utopian dreams drive technology development.

"My stomach feels like it's tied up in a knot. My knees lock up, and my face feels hot. You know what I mean? I'm Wilma Jean, The Worry Machine." Anxiety is a subjective sense of worry, apprehension, and/or fear. It is considered to be the number one health problem in America. Although quite common, anxiety disorders in children are often misdiagnosed and overlooked. Everyone feels fear, worry and apprehension from time to time, but when these feelings prevent a person from doing what he/she wants and/or needs to do, anxiety becomes a disability. This fun and humorous book addresses the problem of anxiety in a way that relates to children of all ages. It offers creative strategies for parents and teachers to use that can lessen the severity of anxiety. The goal of the book is to give children the tools needed to feel more in control of their anxiety. For those worries that are not in anyone's control (i.e. the weather) a worry hat is introduced. A fun read for Wilmas of all ages! Includes a note to parents and educators with tips on dealing with an anxious child.

Elliott is a boy who likes to find things and, one day, he stumbles across a machine. At first, he can't work out what the machine is for – it doesn't beep or buzz like all his other machines and it doesn't have an ON/OFF button. Then, quite by accident, Elliott makes the machine work. The machine makes letters! Elliott thinks it must be a story machine but, sadly, Elliott isn't very good at letters and words. How can he make magical stories without them? But, wait, some of the letters look like pictures. Elliott is good at pictures and, as he discovers, pictures make stories. An inspiring, uplifting picture book about the simple joys of a typewriter in a world of hi-tech machines. Perfect for fans of Oliver Jeffers.
