SCRATCH What is Scratch? Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create interactive art, stories, simulations, and games – and share those creations online. What is ScratchEd? A wide variety of educators have been supporting Scratch creators, in both formal and informal learning environments: a teacher who wants to share stories about Scratch and cross-curricular integration; a researcher who wants feedback on materials developed for exploring Scratch as participatory literacy; a parent who wants advice on how to introduce Scratch at a local all-girls high school; a museum program director who wants to connect with other museums who have introduced Scratch. In response to this growing community of educators working with Scratch, we developed ScratchEd. ScratchEd was designed and developed through a collaboration between Karen Brennan of Lifelong Kindergarten and OHO Interactive How do I get started?
