Are you using Greenfoot? If so, please add your information to the list below.

Greenfoot is free. We can do this, because we get sponsorship for the development, from Sun Microsystems, the University of Kent, and Deakin University. Getting continued funding is much easier for us, if we can show that Greenfoot is actually being used.

So, if you use Greenfoot, and want to help the project to continue, please add you information at the bottom of this page.

10. Chinese International School, Hong Kong, Year 11 Java programming; http://www.cis.edu.hk
    Began using it in January, along with BlueJ. I believe in the tools but am still struggling on how best to present OO and Java to students who have virtually no programming experience.

11. chromgruen Planungs- und Beratungs- GmbH & Co. KG, Essen, Germany, Computer Game Development; http://www.chromgruen.com
    We are developing an environmentally oriented computer game within a joint project and greenfoot seems to be a good platform for simple trial and error tests of certain game concepts

12. Clermont Northeastern High School, Batavia, OH, USA, Programming 2, grades 9-12;
    Used it in this second programming course for the first time this year(2007/2008) and the students loved it.

14. DPS, Montbello High School, Denver, Colorado, USA; http://montbello.dpsk12.org/
    I am a computer teacher, but not a programmer, who started using Greenfoot this year with my classes. I seek a local user group in Denver or more instruction so I can take Greenfoot farther with my students.

15. Fitzharrys School, Abingdon, Oxford, UK, Year 10;
    Very powerful and easy to use, it's really motivated me and my friends to learn Java.

16. Fox Lane High School, Bedford, NY, USA, CS1 (intro to CS - 1 semester); http://www.virtualcompsci.net
    Greenfoot is a great, motivating way to introduce students to objects and the principals of inheritance. They love creating classic games like frogger, as well as inventing their own.

21. Holy Cross High School, Covington, KY, USA, 1st Year Programming;
    Just starting. I'm having a lot of problems making simple projects work, which lowers my confidence-level for trying things in the classroom. I'm very interested in getting more expertise.

22. Home School, Portland, Maine USA, 4th Grade; http://karensgatherings.blogspot.com
    My 10 year old is using Greenfoot as an introduction to Java and creating games.

27. Norman North High School, Norman, OK, USA, Computer Programming I, II and AP / 9th - 12th; http://staff.norman.k12.ok.us/~jwhite/
    My students love Greenfoot! They worked harder than ever on the Greeps challenge. One student got a score of 273 on the final 10-map version. I plan on using Greenfoot at Moore Norman Technology Center to teach Intro to Computer Programming to 9-16 year-olds.

28. Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA, Intro to Programming/Game Design; http://www.ctd.northwestern.edu/

37. The Academy of Irving ISD, Irving, TX, USA, High School Computer Science; http://www.academy.ws
    I use greenfoot to teach non-AP Computer Science. I have the students start on a Karel J Robot simulator written on Greenfoot and then move on to having them build games from pre-built classes with some basic functionality.

38. The Bolles School, Jacksonville, FL USA, High School; http://www.bolles.org
    We are having a great time working with GreenFoot. The students can relate to the scenario and are anxious to add additional capabilities. We are anxious to see a completed manual.

39. The Ethel Walker School, Simsbury, CT, USA, Intro to Programming;
    "Has anyone heard of a book: Object First With Java; A Practical Introduction Using Greenfoot? I enjoyed BlueJ; I love Greenfoot. I don't need Karel the Robot anymore."

40. Traip Academy, Kittery Point, Maine, USA, Tutoring students (one-on-one) in Java programming;
    "I used BlueJ alone until recently, but now I use both Greenfoot and BlueJ. They are both pedagogically superb."

42. UC Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, Kick-off project, 1st yr Ba. in engineering;http://www.uclouvain.be
    Week-long kick-off project in problem-based learning. Most students had no previous experience in programming. Students worked in groups of 6 (further divided in three pairs when writing the code). The project involved programming a "Mars rover" to find a "life sample" in a grid with rocks, based on M. Kölling's Wombat scenario. The students then use BlueJ for the CS1 course.

43. University Centre Yeovil, Yeovil, UK, Science Mathematics & Computing;
    We use BlueJ and Greenfoot to support programming units in our Foundation Degree in Computing & Internet Technology (franchised from Bournemoth University)

44. University of Denver, Denver, USA, Pixels Programing Play & Pedagogy (P4) project; http://gamecamp.du.edu
    "The P4 project has adopted greenfoot as a platform to teach videogame design and development to thirteen and fourteen year-old boys and girls, and to their high school teachers. Teachers will then teach this curriculum in their home institutions to more kids. This project is supported by the National Science Foundation."

48. Western Academy of Beijing, Beijing, China, Computer Science 11-12; http://www.wab.edu
    Started using Greenfoot and the Greeps competition with my G11 beginning Java class. It has been a great tool for consolidating some of the basics of using Java that we have covered so far, and cementing student's understanding of OOP concepts.
