Linking physical perception and computer science in education offers new possibilities to comprehend the present world and develop coping skills. We show that a specific exposure to computers in schools can contribute to an understanding of our complex world. It shows how digi- tal, interactive media can increase our perception of our immediate surroundings and also and han- dling skills. Detailed descriptions are presented of three experiments, which were held at schools, which incorporated a body -based, an Internet-based, and a systemic -based approach to learning. The theoretical background behind the three experiments is explored.
