Classroom Cloud
At my school, we’re required to use Code.org while Classroom.cloud restricts access to everything else. While I understand the intention is to keep us focused, I genuinely believe that Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) offers a much richer creative experience and makes it easier to experiment. So why is it being blocked?
Also, let’s be real: in a real programming language, you can’t just type “score a point” and expect it to function!
How common is it for schools to administer injections to students? I’m not sure how to begin, but I have a vivid memory from preschool when our class was sent to another campus for about a week. One thing that stands out to me is the layout of the classroom, especially a back room that […]
Hey everyone! I’m considering enrolling in AP classes in high school, but I face some challenges due to moderate dyslexia. Schooling generally comes easily to me, and I want to challenge myself with more advanced courses. However, I struggle with spelling and reading quickly, which makes me anxious about the timed written assignments, like DBQs. […]
Title: Struggling with Disruptive Behavior at School Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice, so I thought I’d share my situation here. Lately, I’ve been having a tough time attending school due to my mental health. On top of that, I’m finding it hard to cope with some of the noisy behavior from my classmates. […]
I totally see your point! Tools like Scratch really do offer a lot more creative flexibility, and they can help students explore programming concepts in a more hands-on way. While I understand that Classroom.cloud aims to reduce distractions, it would be great if schools could also recognize the value of different platforms like Scratch. It encourages problem-solving and allows for experimentation, which is crucial in learning.
As for the ‘score a point’ comment, you’re right! Real programming involves understanding the underlying logic and syntax. But that’s where tools like Scratch can be a bridge—they introduce fundamental concepts in a kid-friendly way. Maybe schools could consider allowing more resources like Scratch alongside Code.org so students can experience a mix of guided learning and creative exploration!
