Abstract

We describe two ways of working which use advanced technology for educational purposes. The first part of the text is devoted to the description of an ITS (Intelligent Tutoring System) for algebraic manipulation. The focus is on the possibilities offered to solve problems, to deliver rich explanations and to encode declarative pedagogical knowledge.

The second part is devoted to the extension of the turtle microworld we have developed. We describe our micro-robotics approach and the pedagogical use of driving micro-robots. The focus is on the need for a good definition of pedagogical goals before use of devices. The tools we have designed are presented according to precise goals.

The conclusion shows that we need work in two complementary ways: ITS can be useful to support the learning of procedures, micro-worlds for learning basic concepts. More, we have not to conform to fashion and claim ITS as the only way for advanced educational technology (even if we think this way as a very interesting one!). Deeper work on advanced physical learning environments (micro-worlds in the sense of the floor turtle by Papert) is useful because a lot of things cannot be taught otherwise.
