Hey Tomeu- By "file" I mean the product of their work - in write a document, in record a picture, in etoys a project etc. They want to save what they do in a "traditional" way. Now when I mean 'they' I am referring mostly to teachers or teacher trainers. But i think we need to face the reality that because we want these computers to be used within as a tool to reform formal educational we need to consider that teachers are going to work on the computers too. They also really want to guide the students - when it is hard for them to find their own work they panic. Also when they finish their work and want to share it with others or upload it from a computer that has connectivity they find it near impossible to move their work to a USB key. I don't have enough data from kids trying to do the same yet but hopefully I will see what they do in the next weeks.
