Seymour Papert once pointed out, just imagine the absurdity of a school that has only two pencils in each classroom. Or imagine a school where all the pencils are locked up in a special room.

  Squeak was used to write Scratch. Perhaps the most widely used "introductory" programming language. Find out more about Scratch here http://scratch.mit.edu/

An interview with a man responsible for most of what you see in personal computers talking about why the computer revolution in schools hasn't happened yet. We may be using this during the Week 2 learning path.

Yes, Seymour appears to be confirming what the Government has promised over the next year, to put a laptop per student in every classroom.

The first week at uni we started to use a program called Scratch. This program can be used for teachers and students at any level. It is also has free membership. The first activity that we were required to do was to use the motion button to create simple commands to move the script (the cat). The next part of the activity was to make a sequence of commands. This included the moving the script 10 step and then having the script turn around in a clockwise direction at 15 degrees. The number of steps and the degrees can be changed to suit the way you want the script to move. The next activity was to use the simple commands and have them repeat the commands over and over until you stop the command. We also learnt how to have the script change colour while the command sequence was going. The next activity was to draw regular polygons. The first polygon that was drawn was a square. The next challenge was to create other polygons. This program is great to work with. I had some time just to play, adding backgrounds, pictures and sounds. The goal for using this scratch program at uni is to explore options for introducing digital technologies and related concepts in the primary school classroom, as the Technology curriculum is being introduced sometime this year (2013). This program would fall under the Digital Technologies strand in the Australian curriculum: Technologies. This is where students will engage in the components of digital systems: software, hardware and networks.

An argument that the ability to understand and code for the Web should be a standard literacy. We may look at Scratch in coming weeks.
