Re: [FRIAM] scratch - multimedia toolkit
If folks are interested to play with Scratch in an ABM context, try out Starlogo TNG which Eric Klopfer presented at FRIAM last month: http://education.mit.edu/starlogo-tng/ From the TNG FAQ: What is the difference between Scratch and StarLogo TNG? Both Scratch and StarLogo TNG share a common heritage with LogoBlocks, a tool to create programs for Crickets. The two tools are written from entirely separate code, but we do share ideas. The audiences are different for the two products as well. Scratch is primarily designed as a tool to make computational multimedia projects for kids, targeted at Computer Clubhouses. StarLogo TNG is designed for more formal education environments such as introductory programming classes, or subjects (such as biology, chemistry, physics, etc.) where modeling is an important part of the curriculum. They're both interesting tools, and you should check out Scratch when it becomes available. -Steve -Original Message- From: Sven Gato Redsun [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 12:23 PM To: FRIAM Subject: [FRIAM] scratch - multimedia toolkit http://scratch.mit.edu FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org

Re: [FRIAM] Guilin anyone
They were certainly discreet about it. Guilin is a wonderful place to visit. On May 16, 2007, at 8:20 PM, Belinda Wong-Swanson wrote: Greetings from Hong Kong.
