"Scratch isn’t just a good introduction to programming; it is a real programming language in its own right. A programming language is a language that allows people to communicate instructions to a computer. Scratch does just that." #CSEdWeek #HourofCode medium.com/scratchteam-blog/…

Instead of offering extra credit to inflate a grade, consider offering multiple opportunities for a student to showcase learning @lisa_westman @rickwormeli2 @scotthabeeb @MonteSyrie @leeannjung @goformative @DrMuscelli @melissa_lbi @ovmsprincipal @CRMSprincipal @tguskey
Super excited!

Students are coding interactive tools to help learn concepts from various subject areas with @scratch. Loved seeing students pull out their notes from other subjects. #lincolncrlearns #plantcell #sciencerocks #edtech

I've reached the 50th and final day of my #connectedcoding challenge. It has been a great learning experience for myself and I hope that it has also provided some inspiration for connecting coding into teaching and learning. @scratch #edtech #edchat buff.ly/2suBw7h
Created a simple text writing script for day 49 of my #connectedcoding challenge. #edtech #edchat buff.ly/2sru9NO

Heard a quote today I really liked. “The more discipline you have in your life, the more freedom you have.” Dig that!
I had a go at creating a binary counter for day 48 of my #connectedcoding challenge. #edchat #edtech buff.ly/2kGhClj
Revisited my arithmetic sequence generator to extend it to include decreasing sequences for day 47 of my #connectedcoding challenge. It's been a blast learning/tinkering/exploring with @scratch. Only 3 more days until 50! #edtech #edchat #mathchat buff.ly/2Lcsrqx
Tried creating some pixel art with @piskelapp and @scratch to show the butterfly life cycle for day 46 of my #connectedcoding challenge. #edtech #edchat buff.ly/2kE0FI6

The band Air-Sea Dolphin's latest music video is an interactive video game -- created with #Scratch programming by frontman Robert Schneider and his son Max! 🌊🐬🔔 npr.org/sections/allsongs/20…
Returned to my earlier platform game to add a scrolling effect for day 45 of my #connectedcoding challenge. Still some glitches to fix (and actual gameplay to add) before the end of my challenge. buff.ly/2H0WD5r
Doing some animal classification with a simple @scratch program for day 44 of my #connectedcoding challenge. #edtech #edchat buff.ly/2kvVdXP
