What a fantastic opportunity for the children! I remember Big Bird well in Sesame Street because my children usd to watch that on TV. Coming back to counting and naming parts of the computer , it makes me wonder though whether children will loose the knack of counitng manually.
No doubt the programme will accelarate children's learnng and the process approach as suggested by Smorti, and which involves participation, decision making andproblem solving are necessary skills for life. Mawson(2005) is so right that that promoting children's learning is dependent on teachers knowledge. In my case I think that some children will be able to teach me a thing or two!Luana
