Sharon, very interesting. Your descriptions of the young boy looking for a computer game that is appropriate for his level suggests that we do have to look at the games we have and also really spend allot of time thinking and learning about the games we buy in the future. In this reagard, your field note is very helpful feedback to us all. I do want to pose a quetion to you, however, although the games are difficult and many times allot of kids may just give up, or get bored and walk away, do you think that there is any learning that the kids expereicne from their frustration, lack of understanding, and / or boredome? Also, have you yourself experienced any learning from your own frustration, lack of understanding, and/ or boredome of these games? Antoehr interesting thing you mentioned was how the older brother was involved in the picture. This was nice, because you got a chance to see siblings working together. What type of learning do you think siblings experience from eachother? Do you think it facilitates or hinders things? Nice work Sharon, Ed.
