My son would love Howtoons unfortunately the graphics are complex. They take forever to download? Any ideas? Scratch is much faster.(www.scratch.mit.edu) Henry Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell 795-3680 office 505 827-2509

Yes, there is a theory that science, technology, and mathematics are pretty much the same thing for the younger kids (just something to play with) but later these concepts are differenciated as kids mature, making stuff based on physics could be an effective learning step. So, "Howtoons" http://www.howtoons.com/toons/ is another set of interesting cartoons for making stuff. -- Yoshiki ______________________________________________________________________ This inbound email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System. ______________________________________________________________________ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including all attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
