The kids in our after school program love Alice (Speak), and we have talked to them about how she works. I just realized that we could get them to emulate Alice's opening moves in Turtle Blocks, with either the "speak" or "show" media objects, but I can't
figure out if it is possible to program a response in Turtle using the "query keyboard" block from the sensors palette (or some other block like "print" from Python blocks). In other words,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Speak -- Hello, my name is Alice. </div>
<div>Speak -- What is your name? </div>
<div>query keyboard ... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>... and allow students to type in their name followed by</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Speak -- That's a funny / cool / name (or whatever response the kids want to put in). Getting them to program multiple options would be ideal! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions would be appreciated. </div>
