Abstract

The majority of educational software is designed for traditional com- puters, which allow little opportunity for physical manipulation of an environ- ment. Tangible Activities for Geometry (TAG) provides students a tangible learning environment. Currently, however, TAG does not employ adaptive scaf- folding techniques. Accordingly, we describe how scaffolding techniques and teachable agent behaviors can be integrated into TAG to improve this tangible learning environment.
