ScratchEd Resources: July 2011 Webinar
In this webinar, Mitch Resnick and Karen Brennan discuss ScratchEd resources by exploring three questions:
- Which resources are valuable?
- Which resources will help me get started?
- Which resources will help me go deeper?
Karen began by describing how the current Resources section of the ScratchEd website works and gave a brief update on revision plans. She then talked about some of her favorite resources contributed from the ScratchEd Team, popular resources, and hidden gems that she discovered.
