It's a great way to introduce my students into coding and create their own engaging material. It's also great for them to learn how things need a sequence to work and breaking things up into parts.

I like the way that students can create whatever they want at whatever level they are at. They can use this for presentations, or in the classroom. They may find their passion and teach themselves how to do it!

I was able to make connections to Google Slides. This helped me get started, but I struggled with moving letters back--a good struggle as I will be able to better undertand the struggles of my students. I am excited to explore ways to integrate scratch into content areas (especially ELA). Great way to offer studnets choice while still guiding them to the intended learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like that Scratch is free.  I also really enjoy that there cards to help guide thinking and understanding.  Scratch also allows for creativity and the uses for Scratch are endless.

I love that scratch will open up so many new opportunities for students to showcase not only their knowledge of many different subjects, but also their perseverance and motivation to do so on a new platform! It’s such an exciting way to incorporate technology into the ‘traditional’ classroom setting.

I found a lot of interesting projects. The subject matter is based on interests of my students. This will help them stay engaged in their learning. I really like the idea of the remix. This will help my students who are not as comfortable with creating code and give them a chance to explore it in a different way.

There were several projects that gave the basic platform for spelling practice. Students could then put their own words into the game and have their personalized list. They could even then create their own spelling game to share with others to use.

I liked discovering the ways I can use this in Kindergarten. They provide simple lessons that create a good base for them to first start understanding how to program code. The lessons are already using topics that align to the standards.

This tool would be wonderful for students to create , learn and share together. It give them a format to create amazing things in a short amount of time, but still giving them an opportunity to improve and grow over a long amount of time. This tool would be great for all levels of students.

It is awesome to see some of the things that the new scratch can can do.  I want to have some of my high school kids recreated some of their javascript projects in Scratch and then talk about how the concepts transfer.

I might use scratch in my classroom as an integration into my seesaw activities. It can also be an enrichment to code.org for students that finish the curriculum or need a challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Scratch is a amazing tool! In the past, programs such as this were rarely free; you could only start and then had to pay for the cool stuff! This has great applications for student learning. As the VP of secondary, I am brainstorming how I can apply Scratch to staff development .

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed how the user can explore the many different components of the program.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed how creative you can be with scratch. Scratch could be used across all subjects for various projects. I learned that I need to work on looping the characters to start over, and that you have to be very specific.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this app will need some front-loading because it is not as intuitive as  some of the other applications we tried.  I can see how students might get frustrated easily with this app. The cards were exceptionally helpful for guiding first-time learners.

# data[].attributes.body
Scratch would be beneficial in the classroom in teaching perseverance and learning from mistakes. It could also be useful when teaching the importance of following step by step directions. Demonstrating that success takes time.

# data[].attributes.body
First time using Scratch. I have a lot to learn, I was able to create a few animations. I think a lesson/tutorial just about how to use it would be useful. I spent half my time looking for stuff to do the activities. However, very universal as to how  it can be incorporated into a variety of classroom activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked starting with the cards.  It gave me a starting place that I was able to build off of instead of just creating a new project.

# data[].attributes.body
It is very hard to use at first and takes perseverance and patience to figure it out. Could use a whole PD day for just a tutorial of how to use this program.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I need a little bit more practice but I like how you can create your own story and really play around with the movements.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoy how the cards give you a starting point and from there you can expand on your creativity with in the program.

Encourages perseverance. Rewarding feeling when you fix the bugs! Creativity abounds within this platform.

I am apprehensive to try this in my classroom as it was confusing for myself. I would like to start at a lower level and go step by step with my students. I have tried it before with Kelley and it was very overwhelming.

I still need to practice Scratch more to familiarize myself with it. I'm glad there are tutorial videos to watch hand more to come!

Scratch is great for tinkering and creating! It gives many choices to all users. Great for teaching directions and creativity.

This was my second time using Scratch and I felt more confident. I also was able to figure out how to move my sprites back to their original positions by myself. I feel accomplished. I think this would be easier for kids to figure out and that using them for formatives would be great.

I like how kids can choose an activity and Scratch provides the tutorials they need that they can watch as many times as necessary. Their experience can be personalized.

You can code with Scratch AND use micro bits or Makey Makey. See Examples..

I think, as an adult, I tend to overthink this process.  I have to trust that students will be less intimidated by it and let them try it.  They will love using their imaginations to create.

The students will probably figure it out long before I do :)   So I feel even though I don't understand the endless possibilities, the students will end up teaching me as they figure it out!

I like how I can use Scratch to reinforce what I am teaching in Code.org.

I love the creative aspect of Scratch. It is something that kids can do that doesn't have to be a task. They can just play and create. It can also be used for all kinds of instructional purposes, but I love the freedom of creating for fun with this program.

I have just scratched the surface on the website, but I'm excited to discover more.

I think this will be a great complement to Code.org coding!

I think I'll need more time in Scratch. It doesn't seem as intuitive as all of the other tools we've used over the last two days. I know it's where I need to take my students but will probably not be my favorite tool to use.

# data[].attributes.body
Scratch is self-paced with tutorials for student to work at their own pace. There were plenty of ideas to help me with projects.
My students used student-created programs from Scratch to work their MakeyMakey circuit board. Now they can create their own project to run test their MakeyMakey

# data[].attributes.body
I like how it layers from what we learned in CODE.edu...to robotics...to remixing a code... to creating an entire project from "scratch."

# data[].attributes.body
It's a great tool to blend other tech pieces together.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm itching to try it!

# data[].attributes.body
I have found the best way to get started is choose a project and do it.   Once you've learned a few tools, you'll be able to mix and match to create something new.

My kids just like to click all of the buttons. During Coding Club, they are given a challenge. For example, can you make your sprite jump. This still allows them to explore freely but makes sure they learn a tool.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how scratch is pretty infinite in the possibilities in gives kids/people to create things.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the openness. It's only limited by the student's imagination. It is a great way for students to demonstrate cross curricular connections between computer science and everything else.

# data[].attributes.body
I like that multiple tools work with Scratch- so once students are familiar with the interface, they can use their schema to program makey-makey, etc...
