thank you for sharing you experience; i have to choose between EToys, Turtle Art and Scratch for next year math courses; i like TA too much and i won't take it apart; but i need to understand well the differences between EToys and Scratch: their goals, their functionalities, pros/cons etc is there a comparative study available ? -- roberto _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
