Thank you so much for these resources.  May I post them on our class Edmodo site as a resource for my kids? 

I came across a blog post about Scratch Camp last week.  I have been incorporating Minecraft Collaboration challenges since we rolled out 1:1 iPads in our school.  I have loved Logo since the beginning of this age back in the 80's, so without trying Scratch myself, I through out the challenge of going to the website and making Scratch do something.  Every pair of kids had varying degrees of success.  We lost a few when they tried to share them, but they were totally collaborative, engaged and different kids rose to the forefront as leaders than in traditional lessons.  I will be posting some of the videos I took as soon as I master getting them off my new phone and onto my blog, Embracing 1:1 Disruption.

I'll be using it to review coordinates and geometry this week.  I'll post what they come up with.  I'll be using these guides and cards to help those who don't dive right in.

Regards, Mick

Karen- thanks so much for posting an electronic version.  The  laminated cards I received this summer have been very useful, now I can print and laminate my own for my classroom.  PS- the summer workshop was great!
