What is Scratch?

Scratch.mit.edu is an online platform developed by the MIT Media Lab that allows users to create, share, and explore interactive stories, games, and animations using a visual programming language.

• Helps students develop problem-solving skills and understand the basics of programming.
• Provides a creative outlet for students to design and build their own projects & fostering innovation.
• Enables students to work together, share projects, and learn from each other in an online community.
• Can be used to create projects related to math, science, language arts, and social studies, making learning more engaging.
• The user-friendly, block-based interface is suitable for a wide range of ages and skill levels, promoting inclusivity in coding education.

How could you use this game as a template for reinforcing that content? Don't forget, you can share the template with your students so they can create the games!

Helpful Hints

You can use "costumes" to change the sprites based on a trigger. So if I want to have different animals, words, numnbers, I can have those as costumes for the sprite. Check out this place value game to see costume changes in action! Click the "See Inside" button to explore how the game was created. Also, you can share, remix, and reuse individual parts of a project using the backpack.Check out this place value game to see costume changes in action!

Scratch Classes

Scratch Studios

Create Scratch classes to help organize your students. Each student login can only be in one class and you cannot add co-teachers to a class

Think of Studios as assignmentsStudents will need to share their project to the studio for you to see it. You can also use a studio to put in an example project that students can "remix" for their project

Student Accounts

Teacher Created Individual Accounts

• To create logins en masse, I recommend using my login generator. Just copy and paste your roster into the columns and create a "class tag" to individualize the username.
• Scratch Login Generator
• Import Template- Download as CSV
• Tell students not to change the password.

Teacher Created Group Accounts (shared device, one login per group)

• Can upload with CSV or individually
• Accounts can be reused by different groups if needed
• Example: SowaBlue; SowaRed; LeedsBlue; LeedsRed​

Students Create Accounts (Use with Caution)

• Scratch generates a link to share with your students
• Students create their own account. Student accounts can only be in one class so they can't use this account for another class.***
