looking to develop software to teach expert bodies of knowledge.—Modelling and scaffolding expert thinking (The Dancing Sausage)

Old fogey’s? Geeze I must be “really” old. I understand the concept. I have found that to peak a child’s interest you first have to make what they’re doing fun. If they’re enjoying themselves, then they don’t recognize they are also learning. Brilliant article D Jerz.
