If you are familiar with Scratch and would like to learn more on programming. Java with Greenfoot is a great choice.
In this lesson, we will test the water by looking at a sample Greenfoot project called “wombats”.

Java with Greenfoot Lesson 2: Tic-Tac-Toe Game Part I
In this lesson, we will create a Tic-Tac-Toe game board and add game pieces to it.
Java with Greenfoot Lesson 3: Tic-Tac-Toe Game Part II
In the last lesson (Lesson 2), we created the Tic-Tac-Toe Board and GameBall classes. We also added GameBall objects to the Board object. In this lesson, we will add a Player class such that a Player object interacts with GameBall objects in a meaningful way.
Java with Greenfoot Lesson4: Tic-Tac-Toe Game Part III
In this lesson, we will make the Board class check the game progress and stop the game once someone has won. I will then introduce the concept of Java Arrays. We will add code to constantly check whether three game balls of the same color has lined up and to mark those winning game balls.
Scratch Lesson 1: Introducing Scratch and Creating Sprite
Have you heard of Scratch? No, not what you do to your itch, but Scratch from MIT the famous school for the curiously brainy people? If you have not heard, seen, or played with Scratch, then you’ve been missing out. Because it is a lot of FUN!!!
Scratch Lesson 2: Animating a Sprite (Dance)
In Lesson 1, we created a sprite and also create four costumes: “frontâ€, “backâ€, “facing leftâ€, and “facing rightâ€.
In this lesson, we will make our sprite dance, and dance to the beat.
SCRATCH Lesson 3: Adding Sounds (Dance to the Beat)
In this lesson 2, we make our sprite dance. In lesson 3, I will show you how to make him dance to the beat. And not just to the beat but to the Hip-Pop beat!
SCRATCH Lesson 4: Create a Music Sprite
In this lesson 3, we make our sprite dance. In lesson 4, I will show you how to make him dance to the beat. And not just to the beat but to the Hip-Pop beat! (Note: the video below used Scratch 1.4. For instruction with Scratch 2.0, please read the article)
Scratch Lesson 5: Work with the Stage
In this lesson, I will show you how to make sprites move to certain locations on the Stage. The Scratch Stage uses X-Y Coordinate System that looks as follow:
Scratch Lesson 6: Create Music with Scratch and Audacity®
In this lesson, I will show you how to create a tune using Scratch™s Sound Tool Kit. Then I will also show you how to use Audacity to create a Scratch sound clip from a MP3 or WAV file.
