What is the Connection between Alice and Scratch
Alice.org and http://scratch.mit.edu/
Kids are all digital natives but not digital creators .. We need to encourage programming earlier in kids. Do what?
Write if then else loop classes and instances when the kid is 6?
Yes. But let the complexity be embedded in the software and the wrapper be programmed by kids.
Anyone can program as long we define the program as an initiative to let users express their ideas in digital medium.
Try it out. Teach your kids or any kids or the kid in you.
There is always something to learn..something to teach and something to read about what to learn and teach.
