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.
Did you know that you can make your Scratch projects interactive through a microphone? Explore this advanced Scratch concept by creating a project that incorporates the loudness sensing feature.
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.
By the end of this project students have created an animated biome. I have used this with third grade students for two years with great results each time. Tutorials and handouts included.

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.
