Re: Scratch - Programming Curriculum

I am also interested in this. I had a Scratch/Logo Elective with 7th & 8th
Graders. I kept some of the scratch stuff pretty specific. Once they
learned the basics, I gave them a academic-geared project, otherwise they
too would have been all over the place.
I would love to hear form others on how they present and use Scratch and/or
even integrate it into curricular topics.
