Scratch Educator Show & Tell Videos - Creative Computing Reunion 2012

At the 2012 Creative Computing Reunion held at MIT on January 21, 2012, we hosted a Show & Tell session where educators were given five minutes each to share current work. It was exciting to The presentations ranged from presenting student work, to talking about lesson plan ideas, discussing challenges regarding assessment, or sharing personal projects.

What was particularly exciting about this Show & Tell session, was that with twelve educators presenting, one got a sense of the diverse range of ways Scratch is being used in schools.
