Theory behind using ScratchEvery teacher is responsible for helping studentsdevelop their digital fluency. Collaboration InventionReflectionCreative thinkingReasoning Computational thinkingWe wanted to make it easy for everyone, of all ages, backgrounds, andinterests, to program their own interactive stories, games, animations, andsimulations, and share their creations with one another.

Curriculum Ideas 13. Lesson Plans and ProjectsCreate a list of ideas of how YOU can use Scratchin your own classroom with students. Whatmight you have students create in Scratch thatrelates to your subject area? 14. ICT and Social Studies Flashcards History quiz Historical event simulationusing more than onecharacter. World heritage sitedemonstration 15. ICT and Math Mazes (levels possible) Game using scoring (variables) Tetris game Math quiz 16. ICT and Language Arts Story with illustrations (created individually orcollaboratively taking turns) Describe a word or concept Madlibs Stories with alternative ending choices 17. ICT and Arts Play/tv show using media that students havecreated Self-generating drawing or drawing application Working piano keyboard 18. ICT and Languages About me project students create aninteractive collage about themselves. Slideshow of images with narration. Translate a recipe Create an alphabet translator 19. ICT and PE Interactive dance routine that lets the userexplore different choreography Quiz on muscles Fitness/health calculator PSAs/presentations on health 20. ICT and Science Animation showing a scientific concept e.g.Newtons Laws of Motion Interactive simulation on senses e.g. opticalillusion Program planetary motion Create a pendulum 21. Implementation Stations Small group explorations Workshop style Intro scratch at beginning -> use for simpleproject -> build on each time Encourage students to use it after school andat home 22. Reflection How can Scratch fit into your classroom? Yourschool? If not Scratch, what else can you use toencourage creative computing and digitalfluency in your classroom? 23.
