  1. Scratchin Education Dr. Ben Schafer Department of Computer Science University of Northern Iowa

  2. Welcome! If you have not already done so please Pick up your nametag Have me take your picture Grab some Google “bling” Make sure you are sitting at a computer (with a partner) and have access to a phone (on your own)

  3. Welcome! • Thanks for being here. • We thank you • UNI thanks you • Google thanks you • Google thanks me???

  4. The WHAT of the workshop • CS4HS is a Google funded workshop to expose “secondary” teachers to computing. • Many different formats/topics offered at several dozen locations around the country • This week’s workshop will focus on Scratch (more on that in a bit).

  5. WHAT - Daily Schedule • 8:30 – 11:45 Morning Sessions • Noon – 1:00 Lunch • 1:00 – 4:15 Afternoon Sessions • 4:15 - 4:30 Daily Wrapup

  6. WHATTopic Schedule • Wednesday • Introductions • Scratch as Logo • Scratch for Storytelling • Programming Assignment #1

  7. WHATTopic Schedule • Thursday • Show and Tell • Reading and exploring code • Scratch for Interaction • Scratch with variable data • Programming Assignment #2

  8. WHATTopic Schedule • Friday • Show and Tell • Assorted Scratch Topics • Lists • Third Party additions • Scratch Resources • Teaching Scratch and computer science • Preparing for Phase Two of the workshop

  9. WHATTopic Schedule • You will incorporate Scratch into at least one of your classes. • You will produce and submit • At least one artifact (e.g. lesson plan, worksheet, assignment, specific program) • A written experience report

  10. WHATTopic Schedule • You will return to campus for phase two later in the fall… • Select either • Saturday, November 3rd • Saturday, November 10th • You will present (~15 minutes) your materials and experiences to the group.

  11. WHATAssorted Logistics • Restrooms • Drinking Fountain • Computers in the classroom • Computers on campus • Meals • Food/drink in the classroom

  12. WHATAssorted Logistics • Workshop website • www.cs.uni.edu/connections/cs4hs/ • Session recordings • Dropbox • Packet of resources

  13. The WHY of this workshop (Dr. Schafer’s opinions) • Teachers are better able to convey their subject(s) when they can approach the material through a variety of techniques and modes.

  14. The WHY of this workshop (Dr. Schafer’s opinions) • Children don't get ideas; they make ideas. Learners are particularly likely to make new ideas when they are actively engaged in making some type of external artifact – be it a robot, a poem, a sand castle, or a computer program.

  15. The WHY of this workshop (Dr. Schafer’s opinions) • ALL students should be exposed to the subject of computational thinking via programming.

  16. The WHO of the workshop • Pick up the phone at your station. • (An explanation of what this is…)

  17. The WHO of the workshop • Primary “grade level” • Primary “subject” • How many of you have taken at least one semester of computer programming? • How many of you are comfortable doing computer programming?

  18. The WHO of the workshop • Who are you? • Name • School • Grades/subjects taught

  19. Comments, questions, matters arising of any nature?
