Scratch - Visual Programming Environment
From Australian Lesson Exchange
Scratch is a new programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -- and share your creations on the web.
Scratch is designed to help young people (ages 8 and up) develop 21st century learning skills. As they create Scratch projects, young people learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also gaining a deeper understanding of the process of design.
The Scratch web site is at scratch.mit.edu

Scratch Activities by Richard Wiktorowicz - Moorefield Girls High
- A simple exercise using the existing Scratch cards is to ask students to
- 1. Choose three existing cards and combine the activities into one exercise. This gives them more than "copying" to do but does not expect too much at the start.
- 2. Comment about why they chose these three and how they combined them.
- 3. Do a bit of analysis in a "KWL" format about the activity.
