Programming if Phun

CSTA published an article by David Whitus in Voice 6:2 about programming in middle school. Scratch is too elementary for middle school… Essentially, long live Phrogram, but its $45/per and only on Windows under .NET. Any experience? I think I’ll stick with Python for my 6th-8th graders.

On interesting quote, “At the middle school level, programming is about learning how to think abstractly and use math concepts to solve problems.” You don’t often hear this from middle school teachers! Thank you David Whitus.
