7. Secondary-Alice http://www.alice.org  3d programing Environment, created by Carnigie Mellon  Does not teach a recognized language, but is an excellent gateway to demonstrate object oriented programing.  Drag and Drop style programing very similar to Scratch, but scales up rigor due to 3D nature of environment.  Does not have same ease of sharing and networking as Scratch but does have large community of users and educators.  Free online curriculum that guides students through the creation of specific projects to teach skills that empower them to create on their own.  Can travel to highly praised, in person training to be apart of educator community using in the classroom.
