Today I saw
this article on Lifehacker, written by John Goerzen. I was surprised to see that he is a local. The article inspired me to try something with my 2 and 3 year olds. I have tried helping them use a Windows system with a mouse, but they just can't get the hang of it. They always want to type, so I'm thinking a Linux install without a GUI might be worth trying. I have a couple old laptops that I think can be repurposed for the kids.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to try with them?
