Super Summer 2015

After missing last year, I taught Super Summer for the UO again this year. The classes were the same as the previous years (Stop Motion Animation and Programming in Scratch). You can see some of what we did on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/uoyetag

The changes in Scratch were interesting. Not only were we using Scratch 2.0 instead of 1.4, over half of the students were already using the web based version and had accounts

One interesting thing happened. The Scratch server at https://scratch.mit.edu/ was down during some class times. Students who were using the site were very frustrated. Since there was a local version of Scratch 2.0 on their computers, I suggested that they use that, save their work locally, and then upload it when the server became available again.
