Welcome

Schools, colleges and university are just some of the places where learning takes place but school kids and students can spend a lot of their time in these spaces. There are other places where people learn, some through doing courses at work or online or even learning from others around them in all sorts of situations. The posts here are about learning spaces, writings about learning and technology and thoughts and ideas about all of these.






Scratch could be regarded as an interesting extension and development of Logo, the programming language developed at MIT by Seymour Papert. The Scratch language feels really familair to those that remember or still use logo but with really interesting additions.

You can create animated sequences and then post them to the Scratch online community to be dowloaded, modified and republished. I managed to produce a rather feeble attempt can be found here.

Since the launch of the Scratch online community in May 07 over 18000 animations have been posted to the scratch web site.

It is free and can be downloaded here.
