SCRATCH OVERVIEW

POSITIVES Scratch is an easy place to start because There are good beginners tutorials There are many, many (almost 200,000) Scratch projects online.

Most of them are games that your student can play It's pure drag-and-drop programming

NEGATIVES Scratch does not teach programming with functions. However, if you know Smalltalk, you can download the source

code for Scratch and write your own Scratch functions

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Scratch is based on the language Squeak,

which is based on the language Smalltalk. The Scratch team is based at MIT.

ALICE OVERVIEW

POSITIVES Alice is a good second step after your child has

learned Scratch. It has most features of a real programming language, including functions.

The large number of graphics that come with Alice means you can make professional looking "movies" very quickly.

Alice is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

NEGATIVES There is no widely known website where you can

share Alice projects. There are few beginners tutorials. Does not teach text based programming.
