Hi James, this looks like a great programe to introduce to our kids! I like how it builds on concepts taught and skills developed, building in complexity as the students become more able. I can see how we can incorporate other areas of the curriculum as well - such as writing (eg. produce a short story between two characters...). My question/ challenge would be how to do this without a class set of ipads? Otherwise I can see a lot of repetitive teaching to small groups .... something to discuss and plan to overcome!
This sounds fantastic - would be great to run a similar experiment in our junior classes, then share the outcomes with others. The results could give us the motivation to support others in picking up/expanding their use of IT in their own classes.
