Abstract

MILL, Daniel  and  CESAR, Danilo. Free pedagogic robotics: socio-digital inclusion and democratization of knowledge. Perspectiva [online]. 2009, vol.27, n.01, pp.217-248. ISSN 0102-5473.

This paper proposes the development of a dynamic educational environment based on the use of robotics as educational technology. This text explores the relationship between free software, discarded computer equipment and education, seeking to articulate proposals for free software with the process of construction of knowledge and with principles of social inclusion. The development of pedagogical activities using discarded equipment and the opening of source code for computer programs constitutes a rich possibility for the “democratization” of access to cultural and technological goods, as well as of knowledge.

Keywords : Robotics; Educational Technology; Digital Inclusion; Free Software.
