After the initial fun of creating an avatar--and you have to help children with this part--it's not exactly self evident that there are many choices to explore (initially, many kids didn't know they could dress thier avatar), the action dies down a bit. There isn't really any "play" going on. It's more a site for exploring and children really need an adult to sit with them and encourage their explorations. Otherwise, many children become bored or don't know what to do next. The short video clips help to keep them engaged and excited about exploring. But the POINT of the whole site (exploring and finding other panwapa kids with similar interests) is a bit lost on children. Also, it's a little contradictory that IDENTITY is completely protected while the site trys to promote acceptance of individuality, diverse cultures, etc. It's hard to get the panwapa avatars to actually make connections to each other as everything (including chat messages and postcards) are prescribed. There is really no individuality.
