Scratch

I would descibe scratch as an educational, fun way to learn about computers and to program simple projects. I use scratch to create games and animations and to learn basic programming. I like the friendly user interface and the amount of possibilities using scratch. Also i like it because i helped me start programming so i can now go on to harder languages such as flash and java.

Scratch is fun.  Its fun to create your own games and story telling programs and to share them on the web.  Its fun to learn how to do more things and its fun to help others with their projects.  Scratch has a large number of  enthusiastic programmers of all ages from all over the world.

Multimedia projects can be created to entertain, to teach, or just say what you want to say.  Existing projects can be downloaded and modified to express what you want to express, to fit with the needs of your classroom, or just made to satisfy your need to create. 

Tell a story, bounce a ball, make an interactive scrapbook, make a multimedia birthday card, draw an ever-changing picture, create a book report presentation, explain physics or explain how to tie a shoe.   Its possible.  Its within your grasp.
