  • Abstract
    This paper presents some experiences of learning with computers in a preschool setting. The MEDEA framework (a Spanish acronym of Methodology and Tools for the Development of Intelligent Environments of Teaching and Learning) is used to define the activities and construct the user models. The result is an environment that has been installed in the classroom as a new resource and which has been used in conjunction with traditional learning tasks. The system has been successfully evaluated with children from different countries and cultures.
