LearnScratch.org
I had the opportunity yesterday to go to Christian Brothers University and observe a workshop for middle school students who were learning some of the basics of the Scratch program. I’ve blogged about it before and it is included on my resources and teacher tools pages, but I have to say I am even more excited about it now.
Learnscratch.org is a site created to help teachers and students who want to learn Scratch. The site includes video courses and other resources. With a simple request, you can also have a free DVD mailed to you with all of the video tutorials and materials in the website. It is invaluable if you are considering teaching Scratch to your students.
We are working on setting a date for a workshop here at Downtown Elementary for my computer club, and this will happen before I start Scratch with my regular fifth and sixth grade classes. Exciting things are on the horizon!
