A Different Approach to Teaching Scratch and Scratch Jr.

In this session I will review my K-6 Scratch Jr/Scratch scope and sequence. It will include some cross curricular projects and unplugged activities. I will share how I use the PRIMM model to teach, my folder of slide shows, and handout kids use to read the code. I will talk about where I still struggle with students as well as strategies I used that were successful. This session could be useful to both beginners and veteran Scratch users.
