This ignores Minecraft and things like Scriptcraft ( http://scriptcraftjs.org http://scriptcraftjs.org ) which I've found are far more effective at home my kids attention than Scratch. Scratch is nice but IMO the end result is too limited - kids sense their program is "stuck" inside the window of the Scratch environment and is missing out on much of what the computer is capable of.
- greendestiny 10y agoYeah I just introduced my kids to http://computercraftedu.com/ http://computercraftedu.com/ and its visual minecraft programming language. They got the hang of it quickly because they really want to create things in minecraft.
