Hi, all,
The cover story of the November issue of Communications of the ACM is about the Scratch visual programming environment: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2009/11/48421-scratch-programming-for-all/fulltext
Scratch is one of the activities installed on the XO. A related package is Etoys --mentioned in the article but not discussed further. About all I know of these packages is that both are implemented in Squeak Smalltalk and both enable multimedia authoring. So I ask those in the know: which would be better for introducing programming to middle school or high school kids?
Best,
Ray
