  2. Welcome • Stacy Anderson Media Specialist at Belle Terre Elementary School. I am working on my Graduate Degree in Educational Technology. I am a member of the BTES Tech Team. • CJ Nocella Network technician assigned to Rymfire Elementary.Has worked for the technology department for 3 years.Committee member for the digital media awards

  3. Introduction If you are tired of presentations and your students have created several movies . . . Scratch may be the next challenge for them As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Try it with all students or as an extended thinking activity for those who are ready

  4. Scratch • Background • Free program designed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, with financial support from the National Science Foundation, Intel Foundation, and MIT Media Lab research consortia. • Builds critical thinking and problem-solving into every assignment regardless of the topic

  5. Scratch • Example of a story • Students complete practice activities to learn how to make the objects (known as sprites) change attributes, move location, respond to “triggers” • For a story, they then have to . . . • plan the characters, plot, setting • write the script • create the animations • This is how teachers can pull in the curriculum

  6. Scratch • Possible Student Activities • Illustrate a science concept • Use math concepts to solve challenges (geometry, coordinate grids, positive and negative numbers, etc.) • Animations • Simulations • Computer games • Interactive projects • Graphic designs • Music projects • Storytelling
