Programming Concepts
Using Scratch: teaches about flowcharts, event handling, simple sequential execution, loops, variables, conditionals, parallel execution, and message passing.
IntroScratch-short.ppt- short introduction to Scratch
SimpleWitchGame-6-4-2009.ppt - creating a simple game in Scratch
LessonPlanForScratch-6-5-09.doc
SCRATCH Animation Rubric.doc
Textbooks teachers are using:
Discovering Computers 2009 Complete (ISBN 13:978-1-4239-1198-2 and ISBN 10: 1-4239-1198-9) with on-line materials
Discovering Computers: Fundamentals, Fourth Edition (ISBN 13: 978-1-4239-1209-5 and ISBN 10: 1-4239-1209-8)
However, neither of these covers the programming part of the standards. You can use Scratch, Alice, or LEGO robots to cover that part. For more
information on Scratch seehttp://scratch.mit.eduand for more information on Alice seehttp://www.alice.org.
