New Scratcher: going crazy waiting for Raspberry Pi

Hi,
I have been using Scratch for a few weeks. I am a teacher in a High School in the UK and I have been introducing some of my students to programming using Scratch and Python. I am very excited about the Raspberry Pi coming out.
I have put together a Linux live cd that is designed for people who want to learn Python, and I've also made a Scratch package for it.
Here's my blog.

Re: New Scratcher: going crazy waiting for Raspberry Pi

Hi and thanks for your welcome. Have you seen the video about the Raspberry Pi in which Robert Mullins shows it running Scratch?
I'm not allowed to post urls yet, but if you look on YouTube and put in Raspberry Pi, it's the first one (I think).

I think it's this mini-computer thing that's about the size of a credit card, and apparently it's really educational, programming-wise.

It also supports Scratch :DDDD

Re: New Scratcher: going crazy waiting for Raspberry Pi

Welcome racypy!
The raspberry pi does look very interesting.

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Re: New Scratcher: going crazy waiting for Raspberry Pi

Yeah the RPi is a small computer based on an ARM chip. It costs about $35. It's intended to get young people interested in programming. It will run Linux.
