Purposeful, Productive Programming with Scratch

Your Name and Title: Scott Moss-- Teacher/Faculty

School or Organization Name: Innovation Middle School/National University and Concordia University

 

Co-Presenter Name(s): None

 

Area of the World from Which You Will Present: San Diego, CA, USA

 

Language in Which You Will Present: English

 

Target Audience(s): Teachers in grades 3-12

 

Short Session Description (one line): An overview of the benefits of student programming and an introduction to the student programming language called Scratch

 

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

This presentation will explore free tools and techniques for students to create their own computer programs. Instead of playing games, students create their own games. Programming allows student to apply mathematical concepts  such as coordinates, variables and functions. It also promotes higher-level thinking and problems solving.  The programming skills learned in junior high will also help students as they enter the job market. Despite the global economic slowdown, programming skills are still in high demand.

Further, programing skills allow students to "write their own ticket" and express themselves on ways not seen before.

Thanks for your submission to present at the 2011 Global Education Conference. Your proposal looks promising, but could benefit from some additional language that ties your work to the conference theme of global collaboration. Your proposed session may imply global collaborations and connections, but we need to see more explanation of how your work ties into our mission. The conference seeks to present ideas, examples and initiatives related to connecting educators and classrooms around the world with an emphasis on promoting global awareness and instilling global competency in students. This is not a general education conference nor a technology conference. Please review your submission and adjust accordingly, so that participants clearly understand how your work fits into the mission of the conference.

Your proposal still needs to tie into the mission of the conference. Revisions will be accepted through Monday, November 7 at 5 PM CST.

The deadline for submitting your revisions to this proposal is November 7, 2011 at 5 PM CST or 23:00 UTC.  Email Lucy Gray at elemenous@gmail.com if you make changes and need your proposal reviewed again.

 

We will not accept revisions after this time. If you choose not to revise, we appreciate your ideas and we hope you'll consider applying next year.
