Mel Chua, Anurag Goel, and Greg Smith ([http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-July/007065.html 1], [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-July/007168.html 2], [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/iaep/2009-July/007038.html 3]) have written extensive notes of their observations of our prelimary interactions with these young learners.
