[gcompris-devel] Global learning XPRIZE

[Robert Lewis]

In my view it depends individually on the child.
My 5-year old Granddaughter amazed me by hunting around and learning the
rules
for maybe 50 or more Gcompris activities.  She is still 5 and always asks
if it is ok
for her to use the computer and she heads directly to Gcompris.  This is
the one that
landed on chess and had the failure I wrote about earlier.

Other Grandkids that I have settled on just a few of the Gcompri programs
and continued to work with them instead of exploring on their own.

Cheers,
Bob
