Kellie, I created a word sort program in Etoys (which is already on the OLPC) here is a blog entry on the project Etoys Minute - Word Sorts<http://mrstevesscience.blogspot.com/2010/10/etoys-minute-word-sorts.html> the actual project is posted on the Squeakland site here<http://www.squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=10354> you will need Etoys to run which you can download here<http://www.squeakland.org/download/>
And here is video of the project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht4-NiB_sfQ I tried to create the project so it can be easily modified with minimal knowledge of Etoys, but it can also make a nice entry point for teachers and kids to create their own Etoys scripts and projects. Any questions/suggestions/requests for improvements send me an email or send one to the squeakland mailing list (need to register first here<http://squeakland.org/discuss/squeakland/>to send emails) Stephen On Thu, Oct 21, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Kellie Doty <kd152...@gmail.com> wrote: > Patricia, > > I would love to see a program for doing word sorts similar to those > described in the book Words Their Way.
