Do we think inside our heads? Distributed Cognitions, which has waited four
years for this paperback edition, says no. Collaboration with each other, our
tools and our records is a different, distributed kind of thinking. Gavriel
Salomon’s choice of theoretical and practical papers looks at the educational
implications, combining supposedly antagonistic teaching methods so that
children can be taught to learn together. For a radical approach, it’s
refreshingly upfront about what sorts of knowledge can and cannot be entrusted
to resources outside our heads. Published by Cambridge University Press,
£14.95/$18.95, ISBN 0521574234.
