30th Anniversary of the World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is 30 years old. Its founder, English engineer and computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, first proposed the system that would become the WWW on March 11th, 1989. To acknowledge the anniversary, he’s revisited his ideas about the internet in a new letter published.

Future Learning

Students are the future, but what's the future for students? To arm them with the relevant, timeless skills for our rapidly changing world, we need to revolutionize what it means to learn. Education innovators like Dr. Sugata Mitra, visiting professor at MIT; Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy; and Dr. Catherine Lucey, Vice Dean of Education at UCSF, are redefining how we engage young minds for a creatively and technologically-advanced future. Which of these eduvators holds the key for unlocking the learning potential inside every student?

New Scratch Resource

The Scratch Team has launched a new Things to Try page with tutorials, activity cards, and educator guides at http://scratch.mit.edu/go/

There are nine different topics. The activities have much more scope than the original Scratch Cards. Each topic comes with a series of cards. So you can build on the learning. 

Take a look at Make Music 

Includes an Educators guide:

A series of Activity Cards:

https://scratch.mit.edu/pdfs/cards/MusicCards.pdf

If you click on the tutorial link it will take you directly to Scratch and you can follow along while building your project.

I think the help feature is under used in Scratch. To find the help section click on the question mark to the right of the scripts area next click on all tips. You will see all the tutorials under "Step by Step". There is also a "How To" tab and a "Blocks" tab you can select.  

I'm planning to use this for Hour of Code on Monday.
