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.
Stuck for ideas.. a way to get into coding, want flipped learning, need to start somewhere with some help... here we are. A Google slide presentation ready to share with teachers and pupils.
Can visual and media arts help introduce and extend computational creativity? Together, Scratch and art have limitless potential for learning and creating!
This activity connects number theory and geometry. Your challenge: predict the shape that will result from any combination of angle and distance variables.
I'm Dhif Abdelmoumen,computer teacher i'm from Tunisia. I attended this training because Scratch is a very important learning tool. I thank the tutors of the course, and students too.
Spoiler alert - it can! All the technology-based innovations around us like the computers we are sitting at to connect and communicate are possible because many people wrote the code.
In these videos, twelve Scratch educators share examples of student work, lesson plan ideas, assessment rubrics or other experiences from using Scratch in their classrooms.
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.
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.
