SA>Once we instilled programming in the elementary schools, we saw

This may be something else I missed, but I don't think I
ever "got" that this is a "program" being used somewhere?
You are a teacher?  Where is this happening?  Can you give
us some details on the program and curriculum involved?
If this is happening in elementary school, how have the
teachers made accomodation for the increased material in
an already crowded (some might say OVER-crowded) day?
What type of hardware, software, is being used/created?
