has been at Wallan for at least two years.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I intro'd them to <a href="http://learnscratch.org">learnscratch.org</a>
which has accelerated the learning of the more able students - allowing

presentation about Scratch<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Scratch is a simple yet powerful programming language for
children that is very easy to use yet contains many of the important
programming constructs found in more “grown up” languages. This
presentation looks at some of the key ideas behind programming in Scratch,
explores some possible tasks that students could be given to encourage problem
solving and higher level thinking, and finishes with a snapshot of a student
view into how Scratch is making a difference to learning.<o:p></o:p></p>
