Webinar Description:
Scratch is an easy-to-use environment designed to address this need, allowing children and educators to create their own interactive media. Scratch was carefully designed at MIT Media Lab based on constructionism values, promoting playful learning through open-ended exploration, and encouraging children to create content that is meaningful to them. While introducing Scratch and promoting these values in a school system has great promise, it also faces many challenges.The IDC Media Innovation Lab in Herzliya, Israel, has been promoting Scratch as a playful digital learning environments in formal schools, after-school centers, and home-school environments. In this discussion-oriented panel, we will present several case studies of Scratch workshops in Israeli schools, and discuss the promise and the challenges.
