this page gives a less technical presentation of the installation process:

 

    http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation

for me it was easier to follow. but be careful which server you choose from the list they give. some don't have all the software you need. the URL with winkde.org worked for me after several failed attempts with the others. also i've read at one of the kde sites that the URL with kde.org has everything.

also, you will at some point in the install process be given a choice of the specific applications which you want. choose kdeedu. this is a collection of applications which includes kturtle.

enjoy!

Leo,

have you considered using pyturtle instead? it's got lots more
features, beginning with the fact that it lives in the Python language
environment, so it's a very good point of departure for learning to
program in an important and easy to learn language. also, pyturtle
knows about graphical events, e.g., mouse clicks, and python can be
used to program hand helds. this means that you can get very close to
writing a smartphone or tablet app by creating it in the pyturtle
environment.

regards,

Hello, Tom

I read something about pyTurtle, but never tried. To be honest, I am using heavily Scratch.mit.edu to teach computer programming for Middle and High School students and it works great!

I think kturtle is good for slightly older students, when the teacher wants to emphasize the programming language itself without much distractions (like the sounds and visual effects). For instance, I use it something for probability simulations with 16-18 years old students and I think it is better than Scratch and still not too technical as other programming languages.

Bearing this in mind, I wonder what would be a next step for kturtle...

Leo,

nice to hear from you. do you run linux by any chance? if so:

~/$ apt-get install kturtle

gets you running. i'm not great with windows because of an alergy to
viruses, beginning with windows itself. i call it the 'ya'll come
virus,' because it invites all the others onto yr system. kidding,
kidding! somewhat.

at any rate, the great thing about pyturtle is it dumps the student
right away into python. as you probably know, it's a very marketable
skill, replacing gradually it seems even perl. it you want more info
on that, please let me know. also, pyturtle knows about about mouse
click events, so you can build a simulation of a cellphone app. also,
you can use it to write cellphone apps, so i suspect that it might be
of particular interest to our young hand-held addicts ;o)

sorry i can't be more help with the windows problems. hope you solve them soon.

Regards,

Tom Arnall
