Scratch Materials


These materials were created to help teachers easily introduce and integrate Scratch in the classroom. Scratch offers a unique opportunity for students to learn the basics of computer programming as they create multimedia projects to demonstrate their understanding of a particular concept or topic. Use these guides to find ways to use Scratch in the classroom as a tool to increase students' computational thinking skills.

The materials are divided into three categories.
