Scratch Jr.

I spent sometime tinkering with Scratch Jr on my iPad.  This is the younger version of the coding program Scratch.  Scratch Jr. is perfect for younger Elementary Students, with drag and drop blocks to move the cat around the screen.  Backgrounds can be changed and the color of the cat can be changed as well.  But what I really liked about it is that you can add text to it and tell a story....which is a hot topic for us this year....storytelling!  When the Student presses the green flag, the cat ventures off on his journey!

I wish this were web enabled as we could reach more Students with this program.  On a scale of 5 stars....this gets a 5 and then some!


Happy Coding!
