Week 4 Blog 2 – Scratch Tutorial
I just watched the video that was posted in FSO about Scratch.
Prior to watching this video I had only had surface interactions with Scratch. In other words I had only heard about Scratch and its possibilities. A few of my students have used this program for one of their technology class projects. I am planning on talking to the teacher tomorrow about how I could use the program too. My overall impression is that of relief. I struggled with Flash animation and I really am thankful that there are other programs that will help me animate objects.
At this point I feel like I am just scratching the surface of this program. I hope that some of you have been using the program and can help me visualize what I could use this program for. I did look at the science teacher convention that I am attending this winter and there is a session on Scratch. I will definitely be attending.
If you are a newbie like I am with Scratch the following Web site has quite a bit of information that is already set up for students to use!
