Scratch

I really like this program.  I think it’s really cute.  It reminds me of Kid Pix Studio that I used to play with as a kid.  I’d make videos just like the ones you can make on Scratch, and then make my parents watch ALL OF THEM.  It’s a cute, user friendly technology that could be fun to use in projects.

One thing I will say about scratch is that it doesn’t look to me like anything new, and it doesn’t look to me like a “programming language,” instead it just looks like an interface.  It could be used as a tool to teach the idea of programming languages to children, but it doesn’t look like a language in and of itself.
