1) What is your background in learning or teaching MicroWorlds?

I have taught for 11 years the LOGO language using LogoWriter and now
MicroWorlds.  I love the product but I am not really a programmer.  I have
a Specialist Degree in Business Education.  I teach about 60 students each
day in MicroWorld's Pro.

2) What do you like best about MicroWorlds?  What do you find
difficult or frustrating?

I love the creativity it brings to a child.  I love the sense of solving a
problem with the software.  It is very frustrating to know that a program
will do something but not have the knowledge to do it.

3) How do you hope this group can be helpful to you?

I have some concrete ideas on how to teach MicroWorlds and some relativity
good projects.  I need some technical programming help to best communicate
this to my 60 7th grade students.

I would like to give a problem I have having with the programming part to
you folks and see if we as a group can solve some of them.

Thanks for allowing me to join the group.

Sincerely,

Roderick
