Popis: To date, the majority of learning technologies only afford virtual interactions on desktops or tablets, despite evidence that students learn through physical manipulation of their environment. We implemented a tangible system that allows students to solve coordinate geometry problems by interacting in a physical space with digitally augmented devices, using a teachable agent framing. We describe our system and the results from a pilot involving students using our system to teach a virtual agent. Students used a variety of strategies to solve problems that included embodied behaviors, and the majority did feel they were teaching their agent. We discuss the implications of our findings with respect to the design of adaptive tangible teachable systems.
