[elearning] Teaching Kids To Think Using Scratch

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Nice k12online conference presentation about Scratch

Scratch is a simple yet powerful programming language for children that is
very easy to use yet contains many of the important programming constructs
found in more “grown up” languages. This presentation looks at some of the
key ideas behind programming in Scratch, explores some possible tasks that
students could be given to encourage problem solving and higher level
thinking, and finishes with a snapshot of a student view into how Scratch is
making a difference to learning.
