MS 5: Scratchin' the Itch to Program!
Even after a couple of weeks of fun using them, this week we've abandoned the cups! In the end I was challenging the kids to make up their own programming games with the cups. They certainly rose to that challenge!
We've moved onto Scratch, which is a web-based, drag-and-drop programming language designed to teach kids programming. So far so good--another way to say it is that most kids love it!
For the next few weeks we will work on developing a strong practice of using Scratch. The final project will be a web based game of some sort, but that will be up to the kids to design as teams or individually!
