Continuing with Scratch ...

My latest two projects in Scratch:

Flowers in My Yard RDv1


and

Alaska Road Trip RDv1

are Scratch programs exploring the use of photos as backgrounds and sprites as well as with text Sprites. I plan to go back and add audio for RDv2.

Primarily I want to set up relatively easy to understand building blocks that explore possible uses for Scratch. These two programs demonstrate the use of programming to create an album ... say of a trip, a summer vacation, etc. ... that a child would like to share ... so the excitement of sharing a memory pulls them into learning the steps in creating a Scratch program.

And with Scratch, you can upload your photos directly off your computer ... so you don't have to have them stored in an internet site.
