We describe a hybrid real and virtual system that monitors and teaches children in an everyday classroom environment without requiring any special virtual reality set ups or any knowledge that there is a computer involved. This system is truly pervasive in that it interacts with a child who is playing with normal physical toys using speech. A simulated virtual head provides a focus and the opportunity for microphonological language teaching, whilst a simulated world allows the teacher to demonstrate using her set of blocks -- much as a teacher might demonstrate at the front of the class. However this system allows individual students, or pairs of students, to interact with the task in a computer-free way and receive feedback from PETA, the Teaching Head, as if from their own private tutor.
