Here at NIES/UFAL (Nucleo de Informatica na Educacao Superior/Universidade Federal de Alagoas),
a research center in informatics on education, we recommend the use of one computer to two
kids. The idea is increase the socialization, but with three it's difficult to the kids
to share the keyboard and the mouse. We have some works on the field, but all of them
in portuguese. Sorry.
