Scratch is an easy visual programming language, to build animations, games,
by Lifelong Kindergarten research group Media Lab of the famous MIT of Boston.

http://www.modk.it/
Modkit, similar to Scratch. It's possible to program Arduino

Why use Arduinomio then? Because between the linee guida there is this important point:

...
Do not bypass the Arduino's IDE. The pupil has to use a copy/past and however he works on the Ide. Show the standard code for each row of Arduinomio. The goal is to give to the pupil the tools to learn standard programming languages.
...
...

if(numberA>10 && numberB>20){ ...do this }else { ...do something else }

for(a=1;a<10;a++;){ ...do this }

it's a language that open a road for C++, C#, Java, PHP, Javascript, ActionScript ecc
