Much of the early use of Scratch took place in homes and after-school settings, without the support afforded by formal learning environments. The adoption of Scratch in schools is essential for broadening and diversifying the community of young people who are using Scratch. In this session, three students and three teachers share their experiences with Scratch, both in and after school: how they've been working with Scratch, what they think of those experiences, and what they want to do next.

Scratch@MIT Thursday Keynote: Reimagining Scratch, Reimagining Learning

Scratch is designed to engage the imagination - provoking people to imagine new types of stories and games, new ways of using computers, new strategies for learning. Members of the MIT Scratch Team open the conference by sharing experiences from the first three years of Scratch and discussing how they are imagining future possibilities for Scratch and learning.

Scratch@MIT Friday Keynote: Rethinking Identity, Rethinking Participation

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 19:46:58 GMT

Sherry Turkle, Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology, MIT
Henry Jenkins, Professor of Communication, Journalism, and Cinematic Arts, USC
Moderator: Marina Bers, Associate Professor of Child Development, Tufts University

People often think about new technologies in task-oriented ways: how to access information, how to create projects, how to make presentations. But there is a more personal dimension to the role of new technologies in the lives of young people. In this session, Sherry Turkle and Henry Jenkins explore how young people, as they engage with new technologies, begin to change the ways they think about themselves, relate to others, and participate in communities.
