Hi Bob, Bruno and others,

Consta no registro RL22291 do Livro da Grande Teia que

Agree with you, Bob. In fact, Bruno the "learn autonomously" statement
raises some questions. For example, what concept of "learning" they are
considering? And what degree of "autonomy"?

Based on my own experience as a teacher (and some readings I made) to
learn is deeply a personal experience. Teacher (and, by extension,
softwares) can only help with this process. So I do believe that
GCompris can be used to empower children all over the world.

Go ahead, Bruno! And win that prize for us!  ;-)

Regards,


Frederico
