Create and share your own interactive stories, games, music and art using Scratch. Scratch, described in the “about” section as a kid-friendly programming language enabling the creation of interactive stories, animations, and games, allows students to create and publish projects to the web. Under the Educators tab, a greater description is provided of how Scratch can be implemented in the classroom and impact student learning. Additionally, the website provides resources for those interested to begin using Scratch. The site also offers research as well. After perusing the website, Scratch appears to be a tool worth considering for use in the classroom allowing students to creatively interact, engage, and share content.
