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!

  1. 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!
