On 8 May a group of primary and secondary teachers joined the Learning and Technologies Team to participate in an international Scratch Day event. Scratch is a visual programming tool that allows young people to create their own computer programs including animations, simulations, games, digital stories and art work. It is a tool that is being used by a number of schools for implementing the Digital Technologies and ICT capability curriculum.
Participants experienced a hands-on practical day that included:
“Great time to learn Scratch and ask questions... very helpful presenters... and great support from fellow Scratchers”
“Excellent day all round, theory was both relevant and not to excessive, with enough time to develop helpful and practical understandings.”
Feedback from participants
Participants approached the day with enthusiasm and creativity. The Learning and Technologies Team thank those who joined them on Scratch Day.
