Scratch is a new tool, a programming language that lets you create your own interactive stories, games, music, and art.
Most people view computer programming as a tedious, specialized activity, accessible only to those with advanced technical training. And, indeed, traditional programming languages like Java and C++ are very difficult for most people to learn.
Scratch, a new graphical programming language, aims to change that. Scratch takes advantage of advances in computing power and interface design to make programming more engaging and accessible for children, teens, and others who are learning to program.
Enhancements
- There are no new features in this version. Internally, however, there is improved support for uploading projects to Scratch partner websites and improvements to the code that support Scratch on the OLPC XO computer and the Portuguese Telecom Magellan computer.
- could not import certain BMP files
- external sensor protocol did not work in presentation mode
- Unicode rendering glitch in file dialog directory menu
- deleting a list variable when both a global and local list have same name
- including % in variables names leads to strange blocks
- error when setting pen to very large size
- character encoding issue sometimes prevented launching downloaded projects
- errors when moving by +/-Infinity
- could not "say" or "think" +/-Infinity
- In addition to some translation fixes and enhancements, a few new languages have been added to Scratch in this release: Bahasa Indonesia,
- Bahasa Melayu, Eesti, Slovak

I certainly have. It seems like every school wants you to tell them how youve been dreaming about them since kindergarten. I dont think its rare for high-school seniors to write one and pretty much cut-and-paste it for every application.
This application is just a small step up from that. Type in a little information about the school, nothing that takes too much thought, and click "Generate" and out pops a nice paragraph about why you were born to attend [insert college name here].
Teaching Addition 2009
Teach math to kindergarten or early elementary school children. more>>
Teaching Addition 2009 is an excellent utility and the best choice for you to invest in education. This is free educational software to teach Math to kindergarten or early elementary school children. Parent participation is required to teach step-by-step method. Children are required to have ability to count numbers up to at least 20 to begin. If your children is not ready for this, you can obtain another software named "Number sense" published from the same company. For children who shows a good progress in additional can move on to multiply.
The software "multiply" published by the same company starts with counting numbers in multiple, and goes through multiplication table completely in a very easy way.
Major Features:
- This is not a game software which teach nothing about math.
- This software lead parent to play with children and master the basic concept fo addition using tools on the display. Parent will know exactly what to do to tech children learn 4 + 5 = 9, and why so.
- It extend to the concept of carry in order to learn multi-digit number additional later.
StarLogo 2.2
StarLogo - programmable modeling environment for kids more>>
In decentralized systems, orderly patterns can arise without centralized control. Increasingly, researchers are choosing decentralized models for the organizations and technologies that they construct in the world, and for the theories that they construct about the world.
But many people continue to resist these ideas, assuming centralized control where none exists -- for example, assuming (incorrectly) that bird flocks have leaders. StarLogo is designed to help students (as well as researchers) develop new ways of thinking about and understanding decentralized systems.
StarLogo is a specialized version of the Logo programming language. With traditional versions of Logo, you can create drawings and animations by giving commands to graphic "turtles" on the computer screen. StarLogo extends this idea by allowing you to control thousands of graphic turtles in parallel.
In addition, StarLogo makes the turtles world computationally active: you can write programs for thousands of "patches" that make up the turtles environment.
Turtles and patches can interact with one another -- for example, you can program the turtles to "sniff" around the world, and change their behaviors based on what they sense in the patches below. StarLogo is particularly well-suited for Artificial Life projects.
Enhancements:
- Rewrote tail recursion detection to actually work.
- Fixed numerous hanging bugs that plagued the MacOSX version of StarLogo.
- Fixed display of error dialog boxes when running StarLogo as an applet.
- StarLogo is properly ported to running on Intel-based Macintosh computers when they come out.
- Eliminated ugly redraws of widgets on the Macintosh version of StarLogo. Text widgets look much better now.
- Fixed a bug in scatter plots where the generated StarLogo code was wrong.
- Found and fixed a bug that sometimes let the turtles escape their StarLogo world and scribble on the widgets nearby.
- Resize the patch canvas back to default values when you do New Project.
- Fixed numerous bugs in documentation.
