This state has been "SCRATCHED!"

Creating stories has never been such a hands on tool until you have been "scratched." After you have been scratched, you will soon realize how great it is to experience such a tool. This program has given students the ability to be creative when it comes to making their own story whether it is one or two slides. The breakdown of the program lays out the purpose of this program and how it can directly effect the students. It helps produce 21st century skills that students need to be cognizant and afloat. It speaks to the idea of just equipping students with the reading and writing capabilities. This program interweaves more into the minds of students by getting them familiar with operating a variety of media and piecing together different variations to produce one product. The critical thinking that students will be exposed to make for a challenging experience. I could see my students using the program for a project on details, implications and inferences. By putting together a small story with few details to see, they have to rely on the setting and possible character to formulate more ideas. It allows them to first create and then discuss about the way they see things playing out. This will be a great persuasive tool to present before our administration so that we can get more laptops in the classroom. With more laptops come more opportunities to explore scratch and prezi.  Everyone who enters this state will immediately be "SCRATCHED."
