The design and evolution of TurboTurtle, a collaborative microworld for exploring Newtonian physics

controls, recoverability, and how strictly views should be shared between students. Teachers can also add structure to the group’s activities by setting the simulation environment to an interesting state, which includes a set of problems and questions. Observations of pairs of young children using TurboTurtle highlight extremes in collaboration styles, from conflict to smooth interaction. Finally, the technical work in making TurboTurtle group-aware is slight, primarily because it was built with a groupware toolkit called GroupKit. 1998 Academic Press
