In case you haven't yet heard, the latest version of Scratch is now available for download!

New features include:

keyboard input with the ask block
webcam integration
string manipulators
LEGO WeDo support
support for smaller screens (like on netbooks)

Have you tried it already?

Thanks - just started using Scratch with my class - they are mad about it.

Can i distribute it to my class, for them for use at home, or does it require a separate intallation?

You're welcome to distribute Scratch to your students. Each student will need to install it on their home computers (or run it from a USB drive).

Does that answer your question?

Thanks,

As far as I know, you need to install the next version. (Not really "upgrading"...)

ScratchEd has just started (it's only been up for a month)-- and I'm gradually announcing it to different people and in different venues, which is why there hasn't been an announcement about ScratchEd in the Scratch educators forum yet.

You're definitely welcome to re-post questions/comments! Thanks for joining ScratchEd and posting...
