Scratch 2.0 Student Handbook for ECS

We completed using this pilot curriculum in June. I have added the Scratch for ECS Final Unit Project that we used for a final assessment. The students learned so much in so little time. It was very successful and our
students were very positive about the experience. They used blogger sites and were able to embed their Scratch projects which made them easy to view.
Their blogs served as their design notebooks and were key to a very positive learning experience. I can not share their blog sites but here are some great lines from one student:
On Debugging:
"For someone who was trying to debug, I'd say the best way to figure it out, even if you have no clue and are just staring at the script, is to experiment. The worst thing that could happen is you would have to change it back to how it was at the beginning, but if you play around with the command blocks or the broadcast blocks you're bound to find an answer."
On Broadcast:
"If I were to describe broadcasting to someone, I would say it's the feature of allowing sprites to have realistic feeling conversations with one another,"
On Make A Block:
"The "make a block" function made using Scratch a lot easier. As we learn more and more about the tools available in this program, I've found it has only gotten smoother to work with."
