After walking around spreading Scratch seeds in a some solitary way... our Ministry of Education - ERTE/PTE - DGIDC - and CCTIC - ESE/IPS from Escola Superior de Educação do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal (an University institution) understood the importance of Scratch as an educational tool with an amazing potential. So... now, I, Teresa, became formally kinda "Scratch woman" travelling around Portugal with the coordinator of the project EduScratch (Miguel Figueiredo) sharing resources, stories, experiences that may help other teachers start working with Scratch at School...
Workshops, conferences, support to Schools... we try our best to spread the word!
A very hard and amazing mission that gave EduScratch educators portal - http://eduscratch.dgidc.min-edu.pt/ more than 9000 visits since March.
All started with Michel Resnick at Portugal... see on video!

Very Nice! I hope we can work together someday. We´re from Brazil!
Temos vários educadores do Brasil registados no nosso site EduScratch que dialogam conosco! É sempre um prazer trocar ideias e partilhas com os nossos irmãos de além-Atlântico! :)
Abraço
