Abstract

We describe a teaching activity about word-processors we proposed to a group of 25 pupils in 9th/10th grades of an Italian secondary school. While the pupils had some familiarity with word-processor operations, they had had no formal instruction about the automatic elaboration of formatted texts. The proposed kinesthetic/tactile activities turned out to be a good way for conveying non-trivial abstract computing concepts.
