Brian Keller had a post on his blog where I found out that the people behind KPL or Kid’s Programming Language are changing the name to Phrogram. Jon Schwartz talks about version 2.0, the new logo and some details about the future of Phrogram at his blog.

A lot of people are using existing versions of this software to teach kids and young adults (of all ages) to program and have fun doing it. Check it out if you are looking for a simple to learn language and an easy to use development environment. You will love the graphics related classes it includes.

Hi Alfred, thanks for blogging! More stuff coming tomorrow in followup to my presentations here at SIGGRAPH. Yesterday was a panel on "Interactivity" (codeword for Games!) in Computer Science education - something I know you and your team are actively supporting with your Academic Days on Gaming conference. Do you have a K-12 version of that happening, or in the works? Or perhaps K-12 teachers will be more of a part of the next one?

I am hoping to have K-12 more a part of the next one. I'd love to do a big K-12 event but we'll have to see about that. :-)
