@KatherineTIE @scratch This is one cool project!

@KatherineTIE Seeing this reminded me just how long it took me to be satisfied with the whiskers

@KatherineTIE Awe that's so cool! thanks for mixing it into yours!

Thanks @arsandbox for making this incredible resource available. Is there still a map of where all the installations in the world are located?

I dabbled in #WholeBrainTeaching strategies last year, but found that when I used the word "class" in casual conversation, students echo'd back what I was talking about with a yes. It was cute but then distracting. Any tips?

I made a free 'Speed Subitizing' tool in #scratch how quickly can you see the dot patterns? It will pause and show you your stats (avg time, #s you got wrong, etc) But it needs a theme, any ideas? #bcedchat #edchat #elemchat #2ndchat #1stchat https://t.co/rGQXgqcxCR

I`m making a game that will flash a ten frame on the screen. For 3 levels (asy, medium, hard), how many seconds should the ten frame be displayed for?#2ndchat #mathchat #elemchat #scratch

[Scott McKay @scottmckay_com]

@swkreed Correct, and I use items that intro a unit or are particularly unique (ie gourds to start learning about fall)

Here's a low prep high interest activity-'Mystery Bag' from my first blog post of this year, "A second year, in second grade, no second thoughts" https://t.co/zXjKnRl3KZ #bclearns #bcedchat #edchat #2ndchat #primarychat

Playing around with #scratch at #steamdays18 check out this 'flappy chicken' prototype game! Cluck into the microphone to fly https://t.co/sA3bXWgBDB

[Scott McKay @scottmckay_com]

Thoroughly enjoying #steamdays18 thanks @scienceworldtr for hosting the event outside the lower mainland at @explorationpg

Interesting conversation about computational thinking. “The role of the teacher is to create for invention rather than provide ready-made answers.” Seymour Papert #STEAMdays18

hey @gcouros could you give me some feedback on the math dice game I wrote in scratch. Or better yet a retweet? (will not run on an iPad, written in Scratch, needs flash) https://t.co/aVV832cw45 tks

[Scott McKay @scottmckay_com]

it's a game to help students develop number sense. Fun, free, and made in #scratch #mathed #bcedchat #edchat #ntchat #mathchat #scratchEd https://t.co/aVV832cw45

[Scott McKay @scottmckay_com]

@tonge_tanya My number sense app is now 'usable' but not polished. Take a look with a computer not iPad https://t.co/aVV832cw45

[Scott McKay @scottmckay_com]

I'm almost done this game to help students develop number sense (built it all in Scratch, send me a comment if you find a bug) https://t.co/aVV832cw45 @JosephJeffery1 @Mr_Bleecker @CliffWaldie #bcedchat #scratch #scratched #mathchat

@ChrisMcD123 @_Ms_J @brynmw @jfprovencher27 @CarrieAntoniazz But does it not speak to how our Teaching culture uses tech and treats vulnerable students?
