IStation Tip of the Week
What is SCRATCH and how can I use it in my classroom?
With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.
Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.
Scratch is a project of the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is provided free of charge.
SCRATCH Computer Coding Professional Development
Dr. Jey Veerasamy, Director, Center for Computer Science Education & Outreach at the University of Texas at Dallas, has agreed to come to our school to facilitate a staff development of SCRATCH, the computer program described above. It is a great resource for higher level thinking, especially in math. My son was part of the after school SCRATCH club at Dartmouth, directed by UTD, and he loved it! I think I have convinced him to facilitate an enrichment cluster this fall, and they want to lead an after school computer coding club at Wallace in the spring. If you are interested in learning more about SCRATCH, and how you can use it in your classroom, come join us on December 7th!
