Schüler:innen als Spieletester:innen kommt bei mir im Unterricht meistens gut an.

Hier mein Material für die Unterstufe dazu. Es empfiehlt sich, wenn die Schüler:innen schon ein wenig mit Scratch vertraut sind.

Here's a sample video #Scratch

I saw our music teacher playing this note-matching game in his class, and I wanted to see if I could recreate it in #Scratch. You can play my version here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1268751435/

A colorful educational illustration showing six cartoon birds perched on branches, each labeled with a musical note: Do (red), Re (blue), Mi (orange), Fa (purple), Sol (blue), and La (yellow). The birds are set against a green tree with a light blue sky background. A speech bubble in Chinese asks, 'Why is my voice so high?' A green megaphone icon suggests a singing or pitch-matching activity. The scene appears to be part of a musical learning game.

A cheerful cartoon tree with seven colorful birds perched on its branches, each bird in a different hue (yellow, purple, blue, pink, orange, light blue, and red). The birds appear to represent musical notes or characters in a singing or pitch-matching game. Two grey megaphones are placed at the bottom right, suggesting an interactive singing or sound-matching activity. A green play button is visible on the right side, indicating the game is playable.

A #Scratch project based on chaining a series of translations between languages using generative AI, and seeing it drift further from the starting sentence.

I've tried a few variations of this idea with student groups over the last few months to find what lessons can be learned by building it.

In https://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=5837 I've written up what I think works best

So, das #Kind hat heute seine ersten Schritte mit der Programmiersprache #Scratch gemacht und hat ein kleines Matheprogramm sowie ein Rätselspiel für 2 Spieler unter Anleitung der Maus erstellt.

BTW: Wieso ist die #Maus eigentlich nicht im #Fediverse ?

Dès le 12 janvier 2026, les élèves du 3e cycle découvriront la robotique éducative avec Scratch.

Programmer, tester et ajuster permettront de donner vie au LEGO Spike, tout en développant logique, créativité et persévérance par l’apprentissage actif.

Kushal Das has finally discovered that #kids using #Scratch aren't "real" programmers because they aren't typing code like the grown-ups. 🤔 So, he invented #EktuPy, the revolutionary way to move blocks... but this time on the left side of the screen! 🤯 #Python has never been so left-heavy. 😂
