Exploring Free Resources for Teaching Scratch Remotely
With many schools across the country teaching remotely, there is a need for free resources that enable kids to learn how to use Scratch through self-paced, interest-driven projects. This session explores hundreds of free resources that you can begin using with remote or in-person classes today. In particular, this session will explore free video and visual walkthroughs for developing a project in Scratch, project extensions, debugging exercises, remixing practices, reverse engineering practices, and lesson plans.
