1 Technology Integration for the New 21st Century Learner Scratch Projects

2 Miguel Lara, PhD Assistant Professor Computer Science CSUMB Introductions Michael B. Scott, PhD Associate Professor Mathematics CSUMB

3 Agenda Technology Integration & 21 st Century Skills Introduction to MIT Scratch Finding Scratch project for Math topics Creating a Scratch project

4 Objectives Describe how Scratch could help K-6 students acquire 21 st Century Skills Identify Scratch resources that could be used in your class Create an interactive Scratch project

5 Technology Integration Computers are just a tool, not a subject "We don't have a paper-and-pencil lab" (Matthew Gudenius, sixth-grade teacher, TIME October 2014) CS is becoming integral to many fields: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/march/facsen-joint- majors-030614.html http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/march/facsen-joint- majors-030614.html http://news.stanford.edu/news/2014/march/facsen-joint- majors-030614.html Technology can engage students in difficult topics

6 21 st Century Skills Critical Thinking Communication Creativity Collaboration

7 "Scratch" allows kids creating programs, interactive stories, games, and animations. By learning to code in Scratch, kids learn important strategies for solving problems, designing projects, and communicating ideas.

8 "Scratch" is a block-based programming language.

9 How to Integrate Scratch? Look for existing Projects or "Studios" Create your own Scratch Projects Have students programming in Scratch

10 Scratch Demo Math Race Area of a Parallelogram

11 Activity! Explore different types of projects: Animations, Games, Interactive Art, Stories, etc. http://scratch.mit.edu/starter_projects/ What kind of multimedia elements did you see?

12 Searching for Math Activities 1)Using the Search Bar from http://scratch.mit.edu/ http://scratch.mit.edu/ Two ways:

13 Searching for Math Activities 2) http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/resources/all http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/resources/all Filter resources by: Filter resources by: Education level, Content type, Curricular Area Two ways:

14 Peer Activity! Explore different types of math resources Help your peer finding something related to a topic s/he is currently teaching!

15 Remixing Scratch Projects In Scratch, you can copy existing projects and modify them according to your needs!

16 Creating a Scratch Project! Topic to practice: x,y coordinates Note: You need to sign in to save

17 Share your Future Projects! Existing Projects you Used in your Class Projects you modified/remixed Projects you created Projects that your students created Summer Workshop
