Phun February 23, 2008

Okay, this rarely happens any more, but I just experienced one of those moments when my jaw dropped and I said to myself “this changes everything” but after watching the video embedded below, that’s exactly what happened. I found Phun reading a Clarence Fisher post on Remote Access. Please read his post as well as watch the video. What is Phun? While it might not be obvious to many, what was obvious to me is that Phun is the simplest programming environment I’ve ever seen. I’ve always believed that computers at their best become a way to change education when students control what the computer does. This is one reason blogging is important, because it puts the students in control. Phun does that for programming. It makes it simple for students to create simulations and alter a virtual environment of their own design. Phun is absolutely Phabulous!
