In the final chapter of the section, "They Have Their Own Thoughts," Paula Hooper describes her research at an African-centered community school. The school, Paige Academy, aims to create a community and culture rooted in African-American ways of knowing, values, and interactions. Hooper presents a "learning story" of an 8-year-old girl working on a Logo project. The story examines how children, in the process of making new computational artifacts, can take control of their own learning, developing and extending their own ideas. It also highlights the need for school environments to support and legitimize children's own personal ways of thinking and mental and physical constructs.
