I have been reading about Scratch for a while now. This is true 21st century learning. It's amazing how fast kids learn to use these interactive tools and how engaged they are when using them in school. Kudos to your kids for making global connections while learning. Wow.

No matter what age you are. I have seen kids 10 and up use scratch. I think it is a really good program. With the way technology is building up we can just about do anything now.

Also, thanks for Skyping with our (Karen Stearns') 506 class @ SUNY Cortland tonight. It was a real pleasure to talk with you. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule.

My own children are mid 20's, and what is happening now is very different from their learning environment. If we can just keep the sense of curiosity and the desire to learn alive, we will have accomplished so much.

Andrew's walking with just a little hint of a bigger spring in his step today. One thought that struck me was how Andrew will respond to the usual, "What did you do last night?" question... It's not too often you get the chance to say you were teaching people on another continent how to use a bit of software for fun... more's the pity! Thanks to your kids, Will!

What amazes me is the fact that I prepared, played with it for hours, created sprites, but still when it came time to show the students, they went so far beyond my intellectual capabilities with the program. After ten minutes, they were teaching me. See my post http://edumorphing.blogspot.com/2007/10/scratch-me-some.html The fact that your kids could learn this from across the world from another student is amazing. Thanks for the post! Will,
