    Scratch game programming

    Hi, Regarding programming, I did not express myself very well. I wrote about what I observed and I mixed up several different students in my discussion. I'll try to be more careful. Next week we start with a new group of kids. The second part of our Scratch programming is for the kids to come...

    Scratch game programming

    Thank you for your response. Yes, the challenge seems to be what to do when the goal has been reached. (Every child works at a different speed as well.) An example in programming would be that the child has just learned how to draw a square. There are two possible instructions after this: 1)...

    Scratch game programming

    Hi, I just joined this group. Are you still working with Scratch? I have been learning it for several years. If you need help, let me know. I took an e-course a while back on edX Scratch with video lessons. Maybe that would help. IzzieDee1

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hi Everyone, I have never been tested for autism. I feel that I have a lot in common with the descriptions. I found this website while I was searching for people who have tried Scratch programming (MIT). I am getting very good at programming with Scratch. I volunteer as a teacher for an...
