Hi Karen,<br>
What about Greenfoot or Scratch?<br>

</font></blockquote><div>I've not had experience with Greenfoot but I think that scratch is
brilliant for this. It was developed by MIT specifically for
introducing students to programming. Students can check out what
others have done by registering on the Scratch site. They can download
others work and see how they did it. They can build on others work and
of course share their work via the site as well. It is impossible to
make syntax mistakes and so the focus is on the logic.<br>
