In our first #CreativeComputingChat of the year, educators from around the world shared resources and reflected on their goals for teaching with Scratch!
This free, interest-driven curriculum includes projects and resources designed specifically for elementary coders and coding educators with little or no coding experience.
Can visual and media arts help introduce and extend computational creativity? Together, Scratch and art have limitless potential for learning and creating!
Together, Scratch and music have limitless potential for learning and creating! Check out this list of Scratch and Music resources and add your go-to projects, lessons, and activities.
The ScratchEd Team hosted a #ScratchEd Chat on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 on Math and Scratch. Check out the complete archived chat on Storify, as well as the list of resources that participants shared.
After teaching students some basics (stage, sprites, costumes, loops, movement, ask/answer, broadcast/receive, variables), I challenged them to create their own projects.
Spoiler alert - it can! All the technology-based innovations around us like the computers we are sitting at to connect and communicate are possible because many people wrote the code.
In these videos, twelve Scratch educators share examples of student work, lesson plan ideas, assessment rubrics or other experiences from using Scratch in their classrooms.
Students are responding that they like spending class time creating games with Scratch. This post includes slides for 2 games we're making in class using Scratch.
