                                                                  how they were using it


                                                                   Alice: it turns around

                                                                                                          Francesco: you can turn on it, you

                                                                                                          do with your feet up and down

                                                                                                          Alice: you have to turn, first you

                                                                                                          step on it but it doesn’t stay still

                                                                                                          Teacher: why do you open your
