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.
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.
As part of my involvement in an evaluation of Scratch by the EDC, I was provided with a series of questions to use in the daily reflections my students wrote in our class blog.
An introduction to story telling in Scratch. Students develop a "Three Act Play", using three different scenes (one for each "Act"). A rubric and demo video are included.
The materials are being used by transition year (age 15-16) students in Irish secondary schools. 10 modules consisting of 45 hours of teaching materials are available at www.scratch.ie.
