Stagecast Creator

Well, I read a paper the other day about teaching programming to
elementary school kids, and it mentioned Stagecast Creator as one
of the tools it looked at. It actually seems pretty similar to
AgentSheets,
but it's more polished, costs only $50, and has a 120 day free
trial. The programming is more "by example" (you move things around
by dragging them, rather than writing code).
The boys and I spent an hour each of the past two evenings going through the tutorials. They really like it, and the only frustration has been that the tutorials hold your hand so strongly that you can't experiment while you're playing with them. That may be a good thing.
