Re: Interested in becoming the first Scratch guest blogger?

I think I'll give it a shot.
If you don't know about RPGs, you're living under a rock. RPG stands for Role Playing Game. Now, as I tell you this, you think about games on the Wii, XBOX, and PS3. There's much more to it than that. On scratch, people too make RPGs along with various other games and animations.
That's what I have for now. I'll add on too it later.

Thanks everyone for submissions. I finally had the time read the submissions, pick one and post it on the blog! I hope to see more submissions in the future. It would be great to have a steady group of guest bloggers. Feel free to suggest topics for the next one.

Re: Interested in becoming the first Scratch guest blogger?

I know a lot about companies as I've been in several of them in the past.  I could write an article about companies if you'd like.  I actually began writing one when there was an issue with the window for some reason, and all of my text disappeared; so I apologize for not having a small excerpt posted here.  I'll get it finished as soon as possible but it's late and i'm a little pressed for time.  Sorry, but I just wanted to get my name in here so that everyone is aware.

Great!  As far as I know, Andresmh is still interested in having more guest bloggers so I'm happy to see that there are still people that want to write articles.  Or, in the words of Andres:

Hey, I didn't even notice this topic! I would, but there's not too much that I could write about. I'll think about it today.

Re: Interested in becoming the first Scratch guest blogger?

Good day andres!  wink  As coolstuff just mentioned, I also did not notice this topic, but I will be glad to write for you! I have been on scratch for almost 3 years, so pretty much since the beginning, and I really like to write extensive articles about interesting things like scratch. I really don't have any ideas for a submission I could write, but if someone thinks of one I would be willing to write!  wink

Re: Interested in becoming the first Scratch guest blogger?

I would LOVE to do that if the place is not already taken.

1 Reason I would be a good person to do that:
My grandparents wrote more than one book, my dad also helped edit it, so I could have him check it and before you know it you have yourself an article that's edited REALLY well.
Right now I am in a hurry so I can't research and find the answers but I will post that later.

Thank you!

Re: Interested in becoming the first Scratch guest blogger?

If you have some topics you would like to write about let me know! I'd be happy to review them. Some topics I'd like to read more about from your perspective are:

1. Remixing. What are the different types and motivations to remix? What does remixing help people learn? What do you think of the new remix visualization? How important do you think is it to get credit when someone remixes someone's work? What if that someone is not part of the Scratch community or is a large corporation?  How do you think the ideas on this video apply to Scratch?

2. Social learning and social creation. The role of the Scratch website in your process of learning to use Scratch. What sort of things has the Scratch website helped you and others learn? What wouldn't have been possible for you and others to do without the website? What things are problematic about the website? How would you make them better? What would you keep? How have you changed as a result of participating on the website?

3.  What collaborations have you seen on the website that you think are interesting? Why are they interesting?  What are the different types of collaborations you have seen? Which ones do you like? Which ones do you wish to see less and more? How does the website support collaboration? How does it prevent collaboration?

4. How does the Scratch website compare to other websites you and your friends like? What does the Scratch website provide you? What do you think of the current state of the Web at large when it comes to websites for young creators?

5. Reflections on the Scratch Stats page http://stats.scratch.mit.edu?
