Coding allows individuals to develop computational thought, understand the logic of programming, and experiment with problem solving, cooperative learning, peer education and peer tutoring. The teachers participating in the 10-hour lab at the Istituto comprensivo Primo in Anagni (Frosinone) will learn the basic theory and practice of using Scratch for primary and first-degree secondary school classes.
Thanks to its visual element, Scratch allows users to create algorithms, animate stories, select characters and share projects. During the course of the final create-a-thon, the teachers will develop a storytelling project to practice transversal teaching and learning.
