Scratch is an educational tool that teaches students about coding through a series of building-block tools. Students can create their own games and animations, and view the work of other students. An iPad app called Scratch Jr. allows students in K-2 to start learning how to play with Scratch and solve age-appropriate challenges. The video below gives a brief outline of how and why the tool might be used in a classroom. For more information please visit: https://scratch.mit.edu/
