Abstract

Since 2002 Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan has tried to use media authoring environment created for children (Squeak, Cricket LOGO and Scratch) for computer programming courses (formal / informal) for non-technical students. This presentation shows how we developed curriculums using children's media authoring environments and evaluation for environments including comparison with traditional (commercial) programming language environments.
