On the one hand, some of Logo’s creators envisioned its in-cremental role in reforming education, while, on the other hand, some creators, including Papert,thought it had revolutionary potential to shift education from teacher-centered, instructionistpedagogy to student-centered, constructionist learning. It has long been noted that constructionisttheories and technologies disrupt the traditional teacher-student hierarchy, particularly in schoolsettings. In Papert’s radical efforts to revolutionize education, the role of teachers shifts from onewho transmits
