Albany Scratch Web Resources
Over the past year in Albany, NY at the Thomas O’Brien Academy of Science and Technology (T.O.A.S.T.), a 4th grade educator, a 5th grade educator, a Library Media Specialist and, through a collaborative partnership with the College of St. Rose, a College intern were successful in designing and implementing an eight-week computer programming pilot program based on Scratch at TOAST.
The Albany Scratch website offers learning modules and videos that the team uses. The videos cover the basics of Scratch such as:
- Introduction to the Scratch Interface
- Saving Your Scratch Project
- Opening a File
The team has also posted examples of student Scratch projects on the website:
