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!
Subject: Quick Survey for Psychology Class on Marijuana Use Hey everyone! For my psychology class, I have been tasked with conducting a research paper, and I would really appreciate your help. I’ve created a completely anonymous Google form where you can share your previous grade in English, the grade level of that class, and any […]
How do I know if I’ve made the right study choices? Hi everyone, I’m a teenage student from France currently in high school (lycée). I need to make decisions about my classes (specialties) for the next two years, such as biology, physics, and literature. At the end of high school, I will have to decide […]
Title: My Parents View a Low A as a Failing Grade—What Should I Do? I just got grounded for a month for having a 90% in English. Honestly, this is really taking a toll on my mental health. I realize this might be a tough topic to discuss, so if you don’t want to engage, […]
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!
