LEGO
DACTA ...OPTIMAL LEARNING CONCEPTS
The
versatility of the LEGO DACTA building system makes it the
perfect companion for your computer. With LEGO DACTA the
posibilities are practically limitless.
LEGO
DACTA can easily instruct a motor to turn on and off, go
forward or reverse, and change directions of moving wheels. If
you add gears, pulleys and sensors that can enable your
‘vehicle’to detect touch and light, and have this
controlled by a SMART BRICK, (a LEGO brick equipped with a
micro-compute) you have an idea or two about the
possibilities...
METACOGNITIVE
teaching was developed by Seymour Papert, the cofounder of
MIT’s ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Laboratory. In 1984 his
association with LEGO GROUP personnel lead to establishing a
pilot project to teach young children in US primary schools to
learn basic computer programming skills. Children found they
could quickly learn complex theories brainstorming ideas
collectively. They learned to plan, be patient, to observe and
to find new solutions, with creativity and confidence. With
LEGO DACTA they found it was all great fun in a new and
exciting DIFFERENTIATED learning environment.
LEGO
DACTA has now evolved so you can easily build a creation or
creature, then using RCX Code, create a program, download the
program to the onboard RCX “brain” and using a special
infrared transmitter (remote), control your creation’s
actions.
