Tessa, AoIR, Thanks for this information about MIT's Scratch programming language. With respect to MIT's Scratch, AoIR researchers might be interested in Carnegie Mellon Universitiy's "Alice 3," another program to learn programming. Both of these are available on World University & School's free, educational software page: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Educational_Software - which has much other interesting, free software as well. As a wiki, it's possible to add to World University & School's free software, as well as to TEACH a free and open course, for example. http://Webnographers.org's list of Books - http://www.webnographers.org/index.php?title=Books Papers - http://www.webnographers.org/index.php?title=Papers Video - http://www.webnographers.org/index.php?title=Videos Syllabi - http://www.webnographers.org/index.php?title=Syllabi virtual ethnographic resources continues to grow, as well. It's also a wiki, to which we can all add. Best, Scott MacLeod http://scottmacleod.com Tessa Houghton writes:
