In my classrooms I usually work with cooperative and collaborative learning.

The children are used to work in little groups and we go to the final objective all togheter, sometimes with computer or sometimes without: we used paper and pencil, organic materials, as wood for example, and play. Sometimes we build an ebook.

Focus Engaging girls

I believe that there aren't differences between males and females in coding: the children in my classroom work together and their difficulties are the same as their results.

Focus on linking computer to other subjects

In my classrooms I usually work by doing projects, so to link differente subjects it's important for the cognitive development. Working in a primary school it's not so easy, but we try because and the last project was about K.Hearing. We work about art, italian and LIS (italian language sign).

Learning to use Scrath, I thought to make a simple game for younger children who learn to use the mouse. I imagined a simple figure to be recognized, a nice background, a right time for the recognition of object to click.
I based on existing model to remix, so i changed some blocks to change settings. Then, I try to make another project useful for visual discrimination of letters.
