Talked to Karen

So Karen said that Scratch-Ed, a collaborative tool for educators will be released this May, perhaps at the May Scratch meeting.

Scratch-Ed seems to be exactly the right tool for exchanging ideas, finding case studies and supporting Scratch integration in schools.

talking to Scratch outreach goto gal

The PhD student in charge of Scratch outreach is named, Karen Brennan. I'll drop by her office and see what advise she has to give about using Scratch at our school.

The next open Scratch event will be in May. Are you going, Gina?
