Interests: Activities which maximise the opportunity for self-directed learning: low floor, wide walls and high ceiling with particular emphasis on the walls and ceiling. My favourites: turtleart, scratch, etoys.

Currently user testing turtleart and screencast

Turtle Art text free

To what extent could pre-literate children use Turtle Art? Are graphics on blocks really better than text? Does keeping text labels help develop literacy? What graphics are best? Some features, eg. the heap are unlikely to be used by pre-literate children, should they be omitted or retained with text labels?
