Ever heard of Inanimate Alice? Understand what all the fuss is? If the answer is “no” to either, take a gander below. Oh, and full disclosure: I’m borderline obsessed with media as a rhetorical vehicle, and find its increasingly addictive nature hugely important as digital presence bleeds into physical boundaries, especially in the field of education. If you’re less curious, you may want to do some skimming. This is about as brief as I can get it.

If you have not checked out Scratch, a free programming language from the MIT Media Lab, take the time to listen to this talk by the creator, and then check out the program at the Scratch site, http://scratch.mit.edu/. You may download the program, join an educator's community, check out projects, watch tutorials and much more. One question that is being discussed more and more is if we should teach students programming. We are also told we need to have our students be creators of materials. Scratch may be a program that will help us meet both these goals.
