Especially after I had been using Etoys for quite a while. When I asked how they figured it out, they said "Oh it's in the Quick Guides" So yes, there are many different ways of learning and +1 for Gonzalo's suggestions. May I suggest as a format something similar to Kathleen Harness' Quick Guides in Etoys. They provide a fun and interactive way for kids to learn, that is more than simple reading, but involves doing (albiet in a simple way, that helps ensure early success). One of their goals, I think, is to help make the "undiscoverable" discoverable. Stephen
