Modeling on the table
Izabel C. Olson, Michael Horn · 2011
In this paper we describe NetTango, an agent-based modeling environment designed for elementary school students to use on a multi-touch tabletop surface. We review literature on the use of interactive tabletops for learning and present examples from an exploratory study that we conducted with 28 children (ages 6--10). We also discuss two design challenges that emerged during our study and consider possible solutions.
