Scratch-Ed is a Web site for educators who support learning with Scratch. Educators can share stories, exchange resources, ask questions, and find people.
Hope to see you there!
Sorry for the delay! Here's an outline of the workshop and some slides. As you can probably see from the outline, our intention was to situate ways of introducing Scratch in hands-on experiences. One challenge, of course, is that there's so much happening with learning Scratch that it's sometimes difficult to step back and reflect on what that experience might be like for one's own students.
Sure! I'll post details about the workshop (or some variant) this week...
Thanks,
K
