Want to talk about your Scratch experiences?

I'm a student at MIT Media Lab and a member of the Scratch team.

I'm conducting a small study about people's experiences with Scratch and the online community -- and would like to interview a couple of people before December 8. The interview would be by phone or by Skype and would take no more than an hour.

If you'd like to participate, please have your parents email me at kbrennan@scratch.mit.edu.

Thanks!

Re: Want to talk about your Scratch experiences?

So how are you going to choose the interviewees? Are you going by a first-come-first-serve basis?


I've done an interview for the news once, it was about why I chose to teach Scratch. Anyway, I don't want to do this one because... Well I shouldn't say it xD

We're trying to learn more about how people got started with Scratch, what they do with Scratch, and why they do it. So, the questions would be like:
* How did you get introduced to Scratch?
* What do you do with Scratch and the Scratch website?
* How does the Scratch website/community help you (or not) as a Scratcher?

Hope that answers your question!

Thanks,
Karen

Re: Want to talk about your Scratch experiences?

Hi Karen,
I'm not sure whether you are looking to speak to educators, or just students who have been using Scratch, but if you are looking for educators, I'd be happy to help you. You should have my contact info, as I attended a workshop at MIT this summer (loved it, thanks again!), and am also coming to see you again on Dec. 11th! You can reach me by [removed by Moderator - Per the Terms of Use, please don't share contact information on Scratch]. Thanks. Roberta
