In OLPC we have been working on creating lessons about Continents on the older version of Scratch. Everyone has a different continent and we are putting facts about the countries, geography, culture, among other things. Many, if not all of us, have never used the older version of Scratch. It is cool to see the differences between the different versions and see which one you like to use better. The continent that I am researching is Africa. I have decided to allow the child using the lesson to be able to choose what part of Africa they want to learn about by adding a map and a cursor. Others have added maps, pictures, flags and many other things. Since the age group that these lessons are aimed towards are younger we have to be careful about how complex we make it. I have definitely learned a lot about both Scratch and communicating with younger kids.
