Thanks. I posted a comment with links to Etoys Illinois and squeakland.org.
Hopefully participating in sites like this will help spread the word.

"With Etoys, a K-8 student could do something like illustrate a story and then use scripts to move those illustrations. More sophisticated students could use it to demonstrate science concepts (imagine asking a kid to program an environment with real gravity) and complete virtual projects. All the while, the students are learning a sophisticated but approachable programming language and engaging their own creative minds."
