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.
Together, Scratch and music have limitless potential for learning and creating! Check out this list of Scratch and Music resources and add your go-to projects, lessons, and activities.
The ScratchEd Team hosted a #ScratchEd Chat on Tuesday, March 28, 2017 on Math and Scratch. Check out the complete archived chat on Storify, as well as the list of resources that participants shared.
After teaching students some basics (stage, sprites, costumes, loops, movement, ask/answer, broadcast/receive, variables), I challenged them to create their own projects.
UPDATED: These challenges are now on a website. This is a set of Scratch challenges that scaffold students learning of the basic concepts of Scratch and programming in a fun way.

Several times this summer, Learning Technologies teachers have explored making a "Scratch Book" or "Scratch Glossary" as part of the ever popular Design a Computer Game class.
