I have been quietly working away learning Java script from http://www.codecademy.com/en/tracks/javascript. It falls into the category "general-purpose" programming rather than "visual programming". Our students can click the "sign in with Google" option. It's free. I think it would be very challenging for a Year 7-8 audience. But for students who can do it, it completely opens up the Google Apps platform. https://developers.google.com/apps-script/. That really excites me.
