Kellie,<div><br></div><div>I created a word sort program in Etoys (which is already on the OLPC) here is a blog entry on the project <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(204, 102, 0); line-height: 21px; "><a href="http://mrstevesscience.blogspot.com/2010/10/etoys-minute-word-sorts.html" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; font-weight: normal; ">Etoys Minute - Word Sorts</a></span></div>
<div>the actual project is posted on the Squeakland site <a href="http://www.squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=10354">here</a> you will need Etoys to run which you can download <a href="http://www.squeakland.org/download/">here</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>And here is video of the project <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht4-NiB_sfQ">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht4-NiB_sfQ</a></div><div><br></div><div>I tried to create the project so it can be easily modified with minimal knowledge of Etoys, but it can also make a nice entry point for teachers and kids to create their own Etoys scripts and projects. Any questions/suggestions/requests for improvements send me an email or send one to the squeakland mailing list (need to register first <a href="http://squeakland.org/discuss/squeakland/">here</a> to send emails)</div>
