Abstract
To reimagine Logo's ideas in the next years demands imagining ways of reinventing 'programming' in learning environments, making sense in different social contexts. The benefits of storytelling environments built with tangible technologies have shown a successful endeavor favoring the shared construction of the narratives. This article presents a computational environment based on tangible interfaces with the purpose of allowing a group of children and teachers, to create, share and tell stories together. The proposed environment was experimented within an educational context with 9 years old children and their teachers. This environment intends to illustrate the concept of socio-constructionism.
