Tragedy
Seymour Papert, one of the pioneers of the constructionist learning theory, the inventor of the unique learning environment LOGO and the re-inventor of Mathetics in education, has been gravely injured in an accident in Hanoi. He attended a conference there and was hit by a motor bike. He is in coma now. Let's hope he will recover and continue his inspiring work.
From Boston comes this brief message:

Increadable, i met Papert in Paris once in my life and was impressed by his inspiring thoughts and presentation.
