If you haven't been exposed to Papert - check out some of his old videos from the 70s and 80s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOf4EMN6-XA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOf4EMN6-XA - One really powerful idea he had was ensuring that we stay "somatic" with our computer instruction - playing with abstract concepts in a physical way. Watch the video - he explains it better than I can.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMzojQFyMo0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMzojQFyMo0 - One from the 1970s - perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems like some of these computers they're using don't even have monitors, just control the turtle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V-0KfBdWao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V-0KfBdWao - I also like this discussion - it reminds me that school is a prison for children, unless I work to elevate it beyond that.
I just kind of watch these periodically to remind me of the wonder that computing was back then.
