https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons Directions: Use bullet points to list the cons of Scratch Programming Language 1.4 and 2.0. How would you fix these glitches/gray areas? What would you recommend to the Lifelong Kindergarten Group, the developers? Write in complete sentences, using proper grammar. After you finish writing and proofreading, respond to three other students' posts. en-us 2017-06-14 16:58:15 UTC 2017-06-16 12:37:29 UTC hello@padlet.com anitha_joseph https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536626 - I hate how there is no intro sequence to teach you how to use it. Some features like backpack and duplicate are not shown in the beginning of coding making it confusing the first time.
- The sound library doesn't have a lot of realistic sounds.
-When you make a sprite, the background is still there. If you use the tool it  may bug out.
-Also, they don' t explain what exactly a variable is, so it is confusing at first. 
-Command/Ctrl+ Z doesn't work in the scripting area and is buggy with drawing. 
-There is no way to revert your project to how it was before you made a change, so once you royally mess up, you need to go in and find it.]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536626 griffin_miner https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536633 - My problem with scratch is that I don't like the very tedious writing. Every time you want to make a new script, you must drag and drop every command and it just takes too long. 
- There should be a copy and paste action you can do o speed up between sprites and scripts.]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536633 alejandro_alvaro https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536641 -Theres no back compatibility 
I was using Scratch 1.4 to do most of my projects, but then my Scratch upgraded to 2.0, and the prior project I downloaded to my computer were not compatible. I couldn't use the offline projects I was working on in the new Scratch 2.0. I would suggest to the company to include back compatibility, after all this isn't a PS4 or XBox One.
-The sounds are just bad.
There should be a larger variety of sounds, as well as the sounds should not sound like a rushed recording that is meant to sound fake for comedic effect. ]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536641 liam_hardigan https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536645 - Scratch 2.0 doesn't have the Backpack, which allows you to save scripts and pull them out anytime you want.
- Images and sounds are hard to find.
- Some blocks are hard to find.
- Add more blocks!

I would fix these by (obviously) adding them.

I would recommend Lifelong Kindergarten Group to add a search option for Blocks, Images, and Sounds, and to add the Backpack feature to Scratch 2.0.

Some blocks are challenging to find and sometimes it is not clear which blocks you can put in certain places. Options like duplicate and backpack are not known to the user unless he or she figures it out. There should be a tutorial in the beginning to explain important features of scratch. I also believe that more blocks should be added. The sounds and characters are too unrealistic as well. ]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536651 kai_cooper https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536674 • Scratch does not have a search bar to find sprites and other resources to make the coding quicker.
•  Scratch has no definitive tutorial to teach you how to use it.
•  Some Scratch coding blocks are hard to identify on what they are doing.
•  Scratch has generic and weird sprites.
• Scratch 2.0 and Scratch 1.4 are not compatible.]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:30 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536674 JJ1513 https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536679 - The animations of the sprites can be sometimes choppy and unresponsive. 
- There is no beginner level tutorial or introduction to the program. 
- Sometimes you can't find a sound or noise effect that corresponds to your animation or sprite. 
- There should be wider variety of sprites and costumes. 
- There is no search bar to find sprites and sounds with ease.  ]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536679 nicholas_cruz https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536685 - They need to fix their right click
- It looks too basic
- They should add a tutorial at the beginning to better explain the program.
- The Downloaded version should be more sleeker and easier to use.
- They need more characters
- When you upload a picture they should make it easier to edit.
- They should make it easier and add more features to edit the sprites. ]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536685 chad_keirnan https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536715 -There is not an intro or tutorial feature when first starting out.
-The sounds are unrealistic, and hard to find.
-The right click feature doesn't work o the 2.0 version.
-The background images that are real pictures in 1.4 usually come out blurred or pixelated.
-Many of the blocks are hard to find and identify.
-When importing a sprite there is no feature to move the imported sprite when trying to edit it.]]> 2017-06-15 12:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536715 sarah_elmizadeh https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536742 My problem with scratch is that there are not enough good colors.

Clicking in and out of sections is clunky and takes too long. Clunkiness of the client can be approved by adding keyboard commands. ]]> 2017-06-15 12:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536884 ernesto_coronelz https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176536906 What I don't like about Scratch is that there should be a tutorial to help beginners.

Sometimes it can be very buggy, and not do what you need it to do. It should also be easier to find blocks. ]]> 2017-06-15 12:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176537042 ethan_hamilton https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176537059 - I think Scratch should have more sprites, there should be more choice on the sprite you use.
- Scratch doesn't really teach you how to use, there are tips you can use but it doesn't tell you where to find them.
-It is too hard to find sprites and sounds on Scratch.
I would recommend that Lifelong Kindergarten Group adds a search bar, more diverse sprites and a tutorial on how to use Scratch and the basics of it.

1. I would like to add more customization options. 
2. These customization options would be a wider space to do whatever you want. I would also allow for easier side scrolling games.  
3. Also, if I put in settings for my sprite, I would like to see how it looks immediately, instead of waiting 30 seconds only to see something I don't prefer.
4. Having good sprites would also be good.
5. When I'm creating my own sprites, since the current ones are just plain bad, I want more pixels to draw on.]]> 2017-06-15 12:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176537062 nicholas_soviero https://padlet.com/christina_zacharias/SI2017_ScratchCons/wish/176537098 -There needs to be more blocks
