I have them fill out a half sheet of notes about the project, including how to play, the goal, their favorite part and how they would have made it better if they had had more time. They will pick someone to demonstrate the project (play the game) on the interactive whiteboard while they stand up front and present. Each student will present their own project for the parents. The parents will be the guests and they get to sit at the computers and play the Scratch projects. Today was no exception and I got to see something wonderful happen.ĭuring our snack, I went over how the Showcase would go. I don’t really give them a choice and they really come through. I’m also amazed at the ease the students have to present to the parents. It always amazes me when they come together. We had a variety of projects, most of them well put together. Once online, I found that that the Copy link button on the website offers HTML code for an easy way to embed the student projects into their Google sites based digital portfolios! Embedding their project is even slicker than linking the address. I really enjoyed reading their reflections before we added them to their digital portfolios.Įven the adults enjoyed working with the students on this project.Īlthough we are still using the Scratch 2.0 offline app in my computer lab, the projects all converted well to Scratch 3.0 online to share. Once their reflection was done, I gave them an Hour of Code certificate and then let them play their peers’ games for the rest of the period. For this lesson, I had them find their own game in our studio, play it and then write their reflection. The next week they reflected on their projects and got a chance to play each other’s interactive projects, and we added them into the digital portfolios. The goal was to have 4 Sprites do something when you click on them and one Sprite that introduces the project and gives directions. I had them create a Winter themed, interactive project similar to the one in my We Love Winter post. By the end of the week, they had created 61 new Scratch projects for sharing ( in this studio). They were really into it and we had a great time. During Hour of Code week 2019, I was able to teach all four second-grade classes an introductory Scratch lesson.
