I'm a school board member for a K-6 district. I'm hoping to get a less piecemeal computer curriculum used by the computer specialists at our schools (currently it's typing, reports, presentations, and websites to support reading learning and math fact memorization). I'm thinking of advocating Scratch as the "programming" component. I know some 5th-6th graders can learn Python, etc, but things we use need to be accessible to all kids. Besides Scratch, do you have any other suggestions? (P.S. Thanks for the great video.)
