[Yr11 Information Technology] Scratch on Networks at School

[31Graham Marshall]

Ask the tech's to assign you an area or folder called Actionscript that have permissions for .SWF Files. Each student will then be given an unique logon and ID so that you can monitor any stray rubbish that the kids bring in. Minimise the size of each students are so that any renegade files will use up there memory. If you set the work correctly you should be able to monitor the kids downloads.

Subject: [Yr11 Information Technology] Scratch on Networks at School



Hi everyone, 
 
I have been playing around with Scratch over the holidays, and want to use it with my Year 9 ICT class next year as a lead in to Actionscript. Is there any problem with downloading and running Scratch on school networks ? 
 
Eg. With Flash, all creation of .SWF files is blocked by our network, (because kids put thousands of .SWF games up there otherwise); and so I have to get a special folder setup for each student where they can make .SWFs.  
 
Are there any problems I might have with them running their Scratch projects on computers connected to the network that people know of as being common in schools? 
 
Thanks, Paul Pascoe
