Please take a look at some scratch tutorials have prepared at http://www.redware.com/scratch/. Please let me know how I can make them better and I need project ideas to get kids interested once they have learnt the basics of scratch programming.
Thanks.

Thanks Andres. I am thinking of ways to evolve the tutorial into a guide or maybe a one-day training course for teachers. The teacher at my local school was very impressed with scratch and I may try and approach the local education authority here in Brighton in the South of England. I do need some feedback on the tutotials though - if you can think of any way to let people know about the tutorials (other than this forum) then please let me know. I am not sure that many people are looking at them.....

Making this item sticky in the forum might be a good idea.

Hey! I'm New and I have some questions About Scratch:
I am an animator who uses flash a lot, But I can't figure out how to animate with the program can you help me?

If you can do flash action scripts, it should be pretty easy to translate the concepts to scratch blocks. Did you download scratch? You can't create scratch programs without your own copy.

Actually most flash animations are not made with actionscript (although they could be but it would be more difficult.) Flash has an easy to animate setup with no coding knowledge required. You can set up frames and motion tween symbols to move and add other effects.

A million thanks for posting the link to your Scratch Handbook, redware. I am beginning an after-school club for students in grades 3-5 (age approx 8-11), and your site is an excellent resource. I am exploring it now, and I am very glad to have visited it today. I will pass the word about the excellent work you are doing to support and promote the use of Scratch.

I am a teacher of IT at an Australian high school, introducing Scratch to Year 6. (I have worked with Flash action script in senior year levels). I have found difficulty in getting beyond the basics and then I found your 'fish' tutorial. It is really well done and enables me to see how a 'catch-em' game is created. Thanks for this. More tutorials like this would be great for educators.
I am now interested in a game style where the background changes (Flash uses a second scene) possibly menu driven. I am still trying to work out how this is done in Scratch.

You may or may not find them helpful, but I have written several tutorials on the application of Scratch to programming fundamentals. See the link in my signature below.

this is a tutorial about how to show perspective on scratch.

Chao_choas (and all your other accounts), please don't post meaningless stuff on the Forums. It's annoying to those of us trying to learn things and help with problems. Thank you.
