Scratch

This little moneky (http://scratch.mit.edu/) is a great site to enhance learners understanding of control. It basically introduces them to programming in a drag and drop, simple way that will give them enough flexibility to create a program themselves on pretty much anything they want. Its a free, downloadable program to install, so learners don’t have to share their work outside the classroom, although you can if so wished.

The way the program works is you basically have building blocks that can be customised and you snap them together to create a sequence of actions. Worth a look for KS2 I say!
