Scratch
Scratch, scratch.mit.edu, is a great site for beginning as well as more advanced coders. Students can create games using code or actually remix it from other's creations. You can also create animated stories with characters, or even better, have the viewer choose their own path.
There is also a Scratch Jr. for iPads that was designed for younger students. Below are links that will help you to use Scratch with your students. |
