How to get your hands on ComputerCraftEdu

ComputerCraftEdu is a project I’ve been working on for over two years with TeacherGaming, the people who made MinecraftEdu and are responsible for putting Minecraft into thousands of schools around the world. In the same vein as MinecraftEdu, ComputerCraftEdu is a streamlined version of ComputerCraft designed for use in learning and education, to teach the next generation of programmers how to code. The two main features of the mod are “Beginner’s Turtles” and the “Turtle Remote”, which provide a powerful new visual way to program ComputerCraft Turtles and learn the fundamentals of programming.
ComputerCraftEdu is especially designed for schools using MinecraftEdu, but it’s available to everyone with a PC version of Minecraft. Visit computercraftedu.com to download the mod and watch the trailer. While you're there, check out the provided wiki and tutorial videos to learn more about how the mod plays.
Use this forum to discuss any aspect of ComputerCraftEdu. You may ask for help, post things you've made, share your experiences using CCEdu to teach programming in a class, or whatever else you can think of.
Happy Hacking!

I'm very very VERY happy to hear the new relase of ComputerCraftEdu!
I strongly feel Minecraft and ComputerCraft have high potential as educational tools, because both have simplified interfaces (appearances), but sophisticated complexity, and also many interesting and funy elements. Especially, computer programing are getting more and more important through the world, and many country publicly have introduced the class of programing into their fundamental educations. In this situation, I definitely think that ComputerCraftEdu contributes to children's education.
I've once studied education in my university, and now I'm also privately making my own mods as my hobby. Educational mods are my final object, too.
So your ComputerCraftEdu gives me a lot of hope and possibilities.
Anyway, I'll fully enjoy ComputerCraftEdu in this weekend. (now I'm most interested of new costumes of turtles. I love turtles.)
Thank you for your great work!!

Will us forum members be able to make programs for it?
Also, if it runs on the normal lua backend, we could use the bank that PomTom made (MinecraftEdu allows regular mods)

Why would they want a bank? If they are learning to use it? It is for educational purposes, to be used in many places especially schools to teach programming?
I do think it would be good to make programs for it, but can't see it being a huge thing tbh, as it is a learning tool.

I believe ComputerCraftEdu is updated alongside the base ComputerCraft mod. As it is right now there is a ComputerCraft beta out for Minecraft 1.9.4, so it is currently in progress.
I might be wrong about them being updated alongside each other though (or even if this is still being worked on).
