Student Programming - Scratch December 31, 2007
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Tools.trackback
MIT has provided us with several wonderful programming tools for students over the years. Remember Logo anyone? I’ believe that technology has the ability to empower students, especially when students are the ones who determine what the technology will do. Programming is one way to accomplish the task of empowering students, whether it is simple (spreadsheets, presentations, web pages) or complex (databases, multimedia, programming.) Scratch, a simple programming language, is a great way to introduce programming to your students ages 8 and up. Below is an additional link to Kent Chesnut’s “Learning Forward” blog. He has three posts on using Scratch in the classroom.
