Great application for teaching the fundamentals of programming logic. Scratch has a "drop and drag" interface and "code" is created in the Scripts panel and allows a beginner to use more complex structures such as loops and if statements without actually having to know the "how's". I use this tool in the first 4 hours of teaching programming to beginners by teaching students how to make a simple fish game and then once they have these basic concepts understood, then build on their previous knowledge by teaching them how to make their own version of Pacman. So a highly recommended tool for all levels of students.

A good resource for teaching about net etiquette and citizenship.

"Literature Survey The Importance of Community to Learning The concept of learning communities has been discussed for more than two decades (Caverly & McDonald, 2002). Research has clearly shown that functioning in a community can enhance the learning that occurs among community members (Hargis, 2005; Kember, 1987; Powers & Mitchell, 1997). While community has been defined in the education literature in many different ways (Boyer, 1995; Hill, 1996; McMillan & Chavis, 1986; Preece, 2000; Rogoff, 1994; Sergiovanni, 1994), below are elements of community frequently identified: 1) A sense of shared purpose 2) Establishment of boundaries defining who is a member and who is not 3) Establishment and enforcement of rules/policies regarding community behavior 4) Interaction among members, and 5) A level of trust, respect and support among community members"
