Scratch is a block-based programming tool from the MIT Media Lab that gets pigeon-holed as a tool for introducing students to coding & programming. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great tool for that, but it’s oooohhhh sooo much more! In my mind–and in the minds of many students who have used it–Scratch is a place with infinite possibilities for creation.
That creation can be, well… just about anything. And that anything could relate to games or music or jokes or…. science, math, social studies, language arts, world languages…. you get the picture. ANYTHING. It could be a great classroom tool. Especially when put in the hands of students.
So, let me give you a little intro to Scratch. Let’s SCRATCH the Surface.
I’ll update this post periodically, adding a few new #EduGIFs at a time. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you’ll know when new #EduGIFs are added.
