Scratch

Today we looked at Scratch, it is an innovation that can be used to create interactive stories, animations, games, music and art.
When these projects have been created they can be saved and shared on the web for everyone to see by using links to access.

This innovation has its good points and bad points in my opinion. Visually it is very engaging for students, they will be hooked on the characters and movements and all its features.
My bad point however would be that it would be hard to link scratch into education. Although they have provided us with ideas I think that personally I would find it challenging to implement this innovation into the classroom.


I think that the time it took to create animations and how fiddly the program is that it wouldn't be something that I would use when teaching my students. The only way I think that i could use it was if i made my own project and let the students view it. getting them to create their own project would be too difficult, because of all the different functions that are needed in creating projects.
