Monitoring the web and education
Computer Science, Humanities, and Other Science Learning
Scratch in particular, is a great tool for learning because it incorporates a lot of the internet exchanges of Serendip using a lot of similar concepts available on Powerpoint which is essentially the implicit function of computer science on learning.
Maps can be interesting
in response to both of you
How do you plan to use scratch in your classroom? Will you use it as an alternative to power point and other programs? Or as an introduction to creating technology or programing?
For anyone not a computer teacher, would you try to do this in an interdisciplinary format? Or would you integrate program writing into a specific academic discipline, like language arts? Do you feel any responsibility towards advancing the cause of computer science in the curriculum as described by the speaker? Would it be appropriate for your classroom?
scratch
I am looking forward to implementing Scratch in my classroom. Hopefully, I'll be able to master it before Sept!
My neices & nephews don't know this yet, BUT they will be helping Aunt Diane figure this program out! Hopefully, they will love it also, I can't imagine that they wouldn't lvoe it.
Successful Scratch Day
