Second Rita's suggestion. The transition from tile-based programming in Turtle Art to Etoys projects can be made very easy. The same for Scratch. Since Turtle Art can save programs in Logo, it also gives a good start to learning the UCBLogo Activity. This last Saturday I gave a presentation on

Rita and Edward, I am very interested in EToys and Scratch. Last year, one of our 5th grade classes used EToys to create lab reports after science fair projects. We were really just beginning with the XOs and EToys, but they were really fascinated with the scripting/programming piece. And I have
