Thanks for the notes. It was very interesting. But...

Does anyone else find the car morphic lesson...somehwat counter-intuitive?

Particularly the steering wheel morphic?

If you're dealing with kids who have used computers before,  
clicking-and-dragging in a circular motion--well, first of all, it's a  
relatively difficult motion. It's an unfamiliar motion. And it's not an  
enjoyable motion.

Then there are the ten icons surrounding the morphic, which is rather a  
lot.

Anyone else find this to be he case?
