Drawing for Children and Resnick's Learning Cycle

Last Saturday, January 28th was another quiet and ordinary day at the SLR-CLT Computer Clubhouse. As to preferences, GCompris and ChildsPlay was still a favorite among the kid-members but 'Drawing for Children' became the software of the day because kids used it to show their drawing skills to other kid-members. Kids just love to show how what they did in their drawings.  I this this process follows what Mitch Resnick calls as the iterative cycle of learning, which starts with imagining what you are going to do or learn, followed by creating or making something, then comes playing with your own creation, then sharing it with others and lastly, reflecting on the whole process of learning.
