provide students with personalized tutors through the use of educational software.However, without the authoritative involvement of a teacher, many students are not motivated tolearn material presented via computer. The challenge to educational software designers is tocreate environments that motivate students to think reflectively about content, encouraging themto invest time and energy in the learning process. One manner in which to accomplish this goalmay be to include student ideas when developing software. This paper presents the results of aresearch investigation that examined the inclusion of middle school students in the process ofdesigning educational software. Eight middle school students participated in a focus groupdiscussion, during
