About

In this session, we will explain a few different approaches for teaching and assessing Coding and Computational Thinking, with a focus on approaches for teaching these skills with Scratch.

In the session’s activities, you will learn how to use Scratch Teacher Accounts, which are a special type of Scratch accounts that can help you manage your students’ projects. You will also learn about remixing projects in Scratch and how remixing can be used with Scratch Teacher Accounts to run activities with your students.
