Abstract
In this paper I discuss research on LOGO-based microworlds for constructing robots as a means of articulating constructionist interactivity, an aesthetic of learning environment design and evaluation. In this way self-regulation can be recursively linked to learning, the environment of learning and the development of environments of learning.
