In the classroom

Amit and I, together with the teacher and the children, did some testing on the Mesh by sharing activities. Children were working on the laptops and did different kinds of sharing to work with their classmates. The Sharing Activities wasn't that intuitive, we weren't really successful with it. Nevertheless, the children who shared activities were super-happy. --Carla 16:56, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
