1. Why Scratch?
I am using Scratch for several reasons:
- It is a quick and easy way to introduce students to coding
- Block-based coding allows younger students to grasp basic coding skills without having to battle with difficult programming syntax
- It is an easy way to take pseudo-code & flowcharts to the point of execution in code to create a running program
- There is a large online community
- It is free!
