Re: Scratch - Programming Curriculum

Thanks Guy! That is pretty cool!

I found
http://learnscratch.org/
to be pretty well organized and I like the idea of having both the video
demos attached to it along with the code.

However - I had pretty much covered Scratch 1 in two sessions with my 5th
graders and I have learned that if I don't keep them challenged they go all
over the place, download projects and the class descends in absolute chaos
basically.

So I am thinking on projects that while it keeps them challenged it also
allows the teacher to cover the theory in a more organized way.

Coleen's worksheets seem to head that way..
