Have you heard of Scratch? No, not what you do to your itch, but Scratch from MIT the famous school for the curiously brainy people? If you have not heard, seen, or played with Scratch, then you’ve been missing out. Because it is a lot of FUN!!!
Step 1: What Can You Do with Scratch
Scratch is a programming language for all, even for kids. In fact, Scratch, unlike all other programming languages, is designed first and foremost for kids. Because it’s designed for kids, it’s very easy to learn and use. They can create animations like never before. For older kids or teens, they can create single-level or multi-levels Scratch games.
But Scratch is not just for kids or teens. Teachers and adults can use Scratch to create effective education tools such as math quiz, physics simulation, and educational videos.
Since I knew about Scratch from a coworker, I have been using Scratch, teaching Scratch, and now writing on Scratch. As you can tell, I just cannot get enough of Scratch. I have two school-age boys and I’ve been looking for ways to quickly create games and animations to help them learn. Scratch is what I’ve been looking for and more. It’s just a tool so awesome, so fun, and so easy to use and master, that I am sure, once you start, you will be just like me: Can’t Scratch Enough!
Without further ado, let’s start using Scratch!
Step 1: First Look at Scratch
Start Scratch Program. Sprite Preview lets you preview a project. Sprite Selection and Creation lets you select an existing Sprite or create a new Sprite. Sprite Editor lets you edit a Sprite’s Scripts, Costumes, and Sounds. Tool Box is like a bucket of Lego; it provides single script blocks for building combo script blocks.
Let’s take a look at available sample projects. Click “Open†on the top of the Scratch window.
If “Projects†not already selected, click “Projects†to go to the default Scratch projects directory. You’ll want to try “Animation†and “Gamesâ€.
My favorite from the sample projects are “Daydream†from Animation folder.
Step 2: Create Your First Sprite
Delete the cat sprite by right click on “sprite1†and select “Deleteâ€. Then click the 
Click Ellipse Tool (
Click Ellipse Tool (
Click Stamp Tool (
Use Fill Tool (
Click Select Tool (
Click Select Tool (
Click Select Tool (
Click Eyedropper Tool (
Use Line Tool (
Once you are happy with your own Virtual Me, click OK to save. Rename the costume to “frontâ€. This is the front view.
STEP 3 CREATE BACK, LEFT SIDE, and RIGHT SIDE VIEWS
To create back view, make a copy of costume “front†(click “Copy†button next to costume “frontâ€). Use Erase tool to erase eyes and mouth. Use Eyedropper tool to copy the face color. Then use Fill Tool to paste the color in the empty area. Click OK to save. Rename this costume as “backâ€.
Then copy the costume “backâ€. Erase extra body parts. Redraw body parts. Refill color of the face and the pant using Eyedropper Tool and Fill Tool. Click OK to save and rename this costume as “facing leftâ€
Copy the costume “facing left†and click 
We’ve just created four costumes for the same sprite: “frontâ€, “backâ€, “facing right†and “facing leftâ€.
Your Sprite Editor should looks like this:
Click Save button and, at the bottom of the “Save Project†window, enter “dance†as file name. Then click OK.
Log of fun? Really? Not for everyone! I don’t like Scratch, and think it is below my level. I could probably understand computer programming and I am only a seventh grader.
Hi Sam, glad that you stopped by this site. Scratch is a tool that can allow someone as young as a 3rd grader to learn the concept of programming. It’s definitely not programming in the sense of modern programming. If you think Scratch is too easy and you would like to jump right in to coding, I would suggest taking a look at python.
It’s not that bad sam, it’s a good “stepping-stone”.

Hi. Can I use this to teach an after school paid club?
This is not up-to-date as of 2017. if you admin can update it, I, and probably many others, will greatly appreciate it.
what I’m trying to say is that some features now are different then when this instructional thing was made. I was able to figure it out, but it took me a while to find some buttons that were named differently…
The English word Girl Striptease lady initially appeared throughout the Middle Ages in between 1250 and 1300 CE and hot girl originated from the Anglo-Saxon word gerle (likewise spelled girle or gurle). [3] The Anglo-Saxon word gerela significance dress or clothes item also appears to have actually been utilized as a metonym in some sense. [1]Lady has actually implied any young unmarried woman considering that about 1530. Its first noted significance for sweetie is 1648. The earliest recognized appearance of girl-friend is in 1892 and girl next door, indicated as a teenaged female or girl with a sort of wholesome appeal, dates just to 1961. [4] Use for grownups The word girl is in some cases utilized to describe an adult female, typically a younger one. This use may be considered derogatory or rude in professional or other official contexts, just as the term boy can be considered disparaging when applied to an adult guy. Thus, this usage is frequently deprecative. [1] It can also be utilized deprecatively when used to victimize children (“you’re just a woman”). In casual context, the word has positive uses, as evidenced by its usage in titles of music. It has been utilized playfully for individuals acting virtua girl in an energetic fashion (Canadian vocalist Nelly Furtado’s “Promiscuous Girl”) or as a method of unifying females of all ages on the basis of their once having actually been girls (American nation vocalist Martina McBride’s “This One’s for the Girls”). These favorable uses imply gender rather than age.
¡Genial! Ciertos motivos. Manten este espiritu es un post fantastico. Tengo que leer màs blogs como este.

There is another interesting wrinkle: The Government moved
for a protective order before Judge Sweeney in the Federal Court of Claims alleging great harm to the financial system if Government documents disclosed in discovery were made public.
Even after the protective order was granted, the Government then moved to stay discovery proceeding before Judge Sweeney, pending resolution of the Lamberth appeal.
Personally, I can’t imagine what documents from 2008
to 2012, could possibly say which would threaten the financial
system years later, but the Government is clearly heavily motivated to protect
them to allege that type of harm.

Addressing your q of Vdara is off strip, but barely.
You can simply walk through the Cosmopolitan or Bellagio hotels and be on the
strip in 10 minutes without going outside at all or very small amount of time.
It is within walking distance to a big shopping mall/center (across the street from Bellagio) which is really great for food/drinks.

Cheap Swimsuits The Throne Eins is entirely on design. The
multi purpose shoulder cannon and the way it would dock with the other Throne
units for increased output was really cool, and while black is a pretty basic color scheme
it mixed well with the red from the GN Tau drives
and weapons (much like how the gold is what makes the Banshee
really pop). Plus the sharp, narrow frame of a lot
of 00 mecha is just neat IMO, and the Eins is no exception..

Women’s Swimwear Edit: I also cooked fish from frozen very successfully, and you can cook veggies alongside or top a salad with your cooked salmon or tilapia.
It only cooks for 1 2 minutes, any more and it overcooked, but that means dinner
is done in less than 30. If you do a salad, the fish is done cooking before you finish slicing veggies.

bikini swimsuit Nah dude you funny, and yeah. It is
about race if you make such comments about the ethnic like we
dumb and poor, I didnt said the best in the world (clearly its
not), I meant recognized internationally by multiple countries
and other universities and one of the few at being Pontifical.
It is top notch yet you dismiss it since according
to you, Dominican private schools are dumb, that seems to be a racial anthic.

happiness for whom I would gladly lay down my life; this house is the casket that holds the precious jewel of my existence.
Your niece has plighted her faith to me, and I have plighted mine to her.
What have I done that you should hold me in this light esteem, and give me these discourteous words?’.

cheap bikinis My son definitely got dodgy with naps around potty training.
He became a clockwork naptime pooper, so was always up out of his bed
and coming out to use the potty. We let it ride for a while until he was pretty solid on the potty thing
and then we stuck a little potty seat in the room with him
and told him to take care of it without coming out of the
room. cheap bikinis

it actually helped me on my way to making my own choices.
I found my surroundings quite outlandish and I managed to ignore them while
still being affected by feelings of inferiority.
Throwing myself into choices I had no idea of the consequences would get me out of where I was but often as not got me into places where my
navigation skills could be put to the test. one piece

one piece swimsuits When I was pregnant with my son, we went on a spa retreat in the mountains.
It was only about a 2 hour drive from our house and it was precisely what we needed.
Peace, quiet and really good food. I give you another
example. I qualified in two different (but sort of related) fields, one is
a trade, the other is white collar. Currently the white
collar role pays slightly more than the trade, but if the demand for my
trade skills were to increase to the point where I could be
paid say 10 20% more for doing the trade work, I probably
swap back, and my current employer would have to get me
to train someone else on my way out the door one piece swimsuits.
