One of the most eminent proponents of computing at school is Seymour Papert – the author of the LOGO computer language for children. He has argued that computers unleash the creative impulse in children and allow them to become award of how they think and learn. Given this positive assessment of the computer’s potential, Papert has argued for more intensive computing at school. So, computers are integrated into regular classroom. One body of research studied the effects of computer software on children’s learning. The computer applications have improved children’s performance in reading, writing and basic mathematics. This paper relates some common myths about e-learning. Can e-learning help reinforce learning? Which cognitive mechanisms are improved from e-learning? We try to mention the unpleasant effects, the potential dangers too. For young children, the computer use will cut into play and physical activities that are important for emotional and cognitive development.
