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.
ISTE y la CSTA aunaron esfuerzos y elaboraron esta Caja de Herramientas que sugiere cómo trabajar el Pensamiento Computacional en los diferentes grados de la educación escolar.
Students are responding that they like spending class time creating games with Scratch. This post includes slides for 2 games we're making in class using Scratch.
