Scratch


Scratch is a program available at the MIT website. It is freeware used for programming.
Scratch can be found at http://scratch.mit.edu Explore the website.
The best way to work with Scratch is to use the many learning plans available under the blue tab at the top of the screen called SUPPORT. In class we will print some of the Scratch print cards, helpful directions on how to program movement, and get started in Scratch. Characters are called Sprites, Scripts is the programming actions, Costumes are the different variations of a character (or sprite) and best of all Scratch has great share possibilities. Open different projects and try out other Scratch programmers work. Import your pictures as background. Import your pictures as sprites. Make your Scratch project your own by using your photos.
