The kids in our after school program love Alice (Speak), and we have talked to them about how she works. I just realized that we could get them to emulate Alice's opening moves in Turtle Blocks, with either the "speak" or "show" media objects, but I can't figure out if it is possible to program a response in Turtle using the "query keyboard" block from the sensors palette (or some other block like "print" from Python blocks). In other words,
Speak -- Hello, my name is Alice. Speak -- What is your name? query keyboard ... ... and allow students to type in their name followed by Speak -- That's a funny / cool / name (or whatever response the kids want to put in). Getting them to program multiple options would be ideal! Any suggestions would be appreciated.
