Scratch is developed by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. The Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab developed Scratch as a teaching language specifically for 8 to 16 year olds. The rest of us simply enjoy the Scratch experience and sharing our 21st century learning skills. Join in the fun while learning how to create animations, interactve stories, and games the drag-and-drop way using this computer programming langauge. Scratch provides an intuitive interface that makes learning to program fun, easy, and well-suited as an educational tool for our students.

Scratch programers believe we must create, share, and work together to maximize learning. With new technology we have access to more stories than ever. Scratch allows everyone to create and design video games and cartoons themselves and share their creations with an audience around the world.

I started using this program in my 1-2 class this summer. The keiki enjoyed it so much every day we had to start with a Scratchy project. Great for integrating all subjects across the curriculum. Publish project creations on the Scratch MIT website for the world to view and remix.

Here are some of my favorite Scratch projects: keikichinese (my class!) Alexander the Great Night At Dreary Castle Maki - Nation Naki - Tak Live at Scratch

You gotta try it! Your classroom will never be the same!
