[MWForum]teaching MicroWorlds - students with varius learning problems

[Zehava Wizman]

Hellow Forum!
I am student, M.A  degree in  Technion Institue, on “Eduacation in 
Technology and Science “ Faculty, besides I am working as a computer teacher 
in middle age section (13-14 age). In my studies I have to develop 
educational program, and I decided to try taking MicroWorlds for teaching 
some basic Ideas in Computer Science for children in those ages (12-14)  
with problems in learning ( I teach this course in Middle age school but 
only for the  best  students in scholol) Now, there is need to fit it to 
students with varius problems in learning,concentration 
problems,communication problems, and other learning problems, those that 
maybe ,it will be  their unique opportunity studing those subjects in very 
rich invirnoment, and need so much success experience of making projects by 
themselves, see their products working with much multimedia effects in it.
My request is to get advises on: what projects will suit to those children, 
which elements can fit  to those children, Maybe someone has expeirence with 
teaching MicroWorlds to students with problems I mentioned before.
I surely know that some subjects like  recursion, maybe condional sentences 
will not fit them, but their are subjects that can be tought in special way 
and will be understandably.
I will be glad to hear from you, and get help.
                                      Thanks, Zehava Wizman
