The idea is that you can start building your own blocks without having to think about data types for inputs. So you can build your own \"jump\" or \"draw\" block and just specify inputs, period. Later you can use the long form input to refine your designs, if you want to. The \"long form input\" setting is something for \"power-users\". Personally, I never use it myself, and I would not recommend it for beginners because of the cognitive overload. But I know many users who prefer to only get the more detailed long form input dialog, especially once they've gotten the \"hang\" of building their own blocks.\r\n\r\nWow, 3rd graders using Snap! That's very exciting! I'm very interested in your observations about what works and what doesn't. I can imagine that for elementary school children maybe even blocks with just symbols / pictures on them instead of text would be interesting..."}}
