Here is Hot Mess
This was ridiculously hard! I was honestly just playing around and I was like okay this is kinda cool. Scratch I think is quite user friendly for people who are into coding and somewhat tech savy. I would introduce this site to me students if this was something that they were interested in. I like how Doug Belshaw broke down coding for me. I agree that coding can teach problem solving skills because I had to play around with tools to get my desired effect. This could definitely build digital confidence if you have a passion for this kind of of thing. But I also think this could also frustrate students and discourage them. Okay this is cool, I know this Frozen theme would definitely interest many younger students. I didn’t know there were so many influential people supporting code like Barack Obama, Shakira and Karli Kloss.
I think coding could be great for learning digital literacy, problem solving, and incorporating math and arts education. I would have to become a lot more confident before I would introduce this to my class though.
