found online at http://htdp.org/. What I like best is that it teaches
the students to design programs via a recipe that can be applied to any
programming language as they move forward. The book and software
(Scheme - an easy language) are all found on this site and are free.
There is also a helpful list serve.
Good luck,
Ann

Subject: Programming Curriculum in Middle School
I am interested in creating a middle school course in programming.
Scratch
is already being introduced in our enrichment program in our lower
school.
Programs I am considering are Alice, Starlogo, Microworlds, HTML. If
anyone
is teaching a programming course(s) either as part of the curriculum or
in
an after school setting I would like to hear what you are teaching. If
there
is a written curriculum would you be willing to share it? Are there
other
programs you might suggest I consider?
