UNI to Offer Summer Course on Scratch in Education

UNI will host a six week, six unit online course on how to teach with Scratch. The course assumes no prior programming experience and will include an introduction to the environment, material on Scratch for Logo, storytelling, text interaction and game-laying, as well as coverage of some advanced topics. Each unit is a blend of 60-90 minutes of lecture videos (roughly 5 minutes each), hands-on guided activities and independent programming assignments. It was taken by over 140 teachers last summer and was VERY well reviewed in end of course evaluations. 

The course will run from June 8-July 17 and will require a TOTAL commitment of roughly 20-25 hours. Apply by June 1.
