[Yr11 Information Technology] RE: about SCRATCH for Unit2?

Wed Jun 18 09:18:16 EST 2008

Accepted programming languages are listed on the VCAA site but, to my
knowledge, are only for Software Development. I think the purpose of
Unit 2 was to acquaint students with programming structures and
concepts. The concepts of sequencing, branching and iteration are
clearly shown in Scratch.

What do others say? Paula?

Hey there Jenna,

Before you launch into scratch, you better check if its one of the
'accepted' programs for VCE studies. From memory, there was quite a bit
of discussion as to the suitability of that program for the year 11
studies. Many of us are using VBASIC or similar because of that
concern...

...just a tip...

Kent.

Hi everyone, 

I'm using scratch for the Unit 2 Outcome 1.

Does anyone have any useful worksheets, tutorials that can help my
students learn about Scratch.

Thanks

Jenna

Hi Kent,

newbie too. The website, teaches Vb.Net step by step and also has small
tasks- like practice ones before the actual ones?

I'm using VB6 - 'cos we've got it and I know it.

I made a graduated series of tasks from very basic to quite
sophisticated so kids could show their level of accomplishment.

Tasks are attached.
