This was really interesting. I would love to create my spelling test on this and just let the students take the test when they feel ready. It was really fun

This sounds like a fun way to do spelling or vocabulary quizzes. I am always looking for a new way to present materials so the lessons don't get mundane.
This is a hard program but I can see how you could work on it during the summer and save them for the school year.

Scratch was an interesting program that allows students to create their own interactive game, very handy for the fast finishers or student who and a love or interest in computer programing. I would like to use this program to have as a spelling test review throughout the week. I'm not sure I'd use this program a bunch I might have to look through some of the programming options for future classroom projects or events. Thanks for the class!

Fun Class! I have a better understanding of what it takes to program and create interactive games and activities! This program was definitely challenging for me. I appreciate the help to learn with step-by-step instructions. You all are amazing teachers!

I found this to be very interesting. I am going to have to play with it more over the summer and create some things for my students to use because teaching 2nd grade it would be over their heads.
