Getting Started Schedule: 45 minutes of introduction to Scratch SHORT break Remainder of the time to start building a game as a group

Getting Started Some ground rules –Things will go fast so you need to listen –When I ask for eyes up front that means give me your attention and keep your hands off the computers –You shouldn’t use any program other than Scratch unless you are told it is ok to do so –You shouldn’t explore other areas of Scratch unless you are told it is ok to do so
