First Published in 1994. This book is about modelling in education. It is about providing children with computer tools to enable them to create their own worlds, to express their own representations of their world, and also to explore other people's representations - learning with artificial worlds. This title is best suited for the classroom teacher who has used some modelling, and now wishes to seriously consider the role of modelling within their curriculum.
