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.
Stuck for ideas.. a way to get into coding, want flipped learning, need to start somewhere with some help... here we are. A Google slide presentation ready to share with teachers and pupils.

This model lesson encourages students to create an interactive collage based on a mentor text - in this case Ish by Peter Reynolds. Lesson plan, student activity & model projects included.
A lesson format that can be adapted to any grade level in middle school (and perhaps beyond). Students create an interactive animation to review the roots of words.
Encourage your students to scratch a story about teaching someone how to spell. They learn three new words at the same time - scintillate, excellent and collaborate.
Encourage your students to design a travelling machine with only three shapes and weave a story into it at the same time. View the project below and let their imaginations fly. Enjoy! :)
Encourage your students to write a story in rhyme form. The first sentence of the story is provided. View the project Big Story Challenge 4 - Dragon Rhyming Tales. Brainstorm and start rhyming! Enjoy!
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.
