Scratch! Programming
You will be learning programming using Scratch!
Scratch allows you to create some really fun things. You can use photos (like I did). or you can draw your own images to make animations with motion, sound, music and even interaction.
If you can make your animations interactive, you can even create games.

Debug Starting Scene - This explains how to troubleshoot common errors, and get your start scene set up so that your sprites don't start in weird, random places or so that your sound or motion settings are all at the correct level and location every time you play your program.
To actually do this "assignment" you need access to the Google Form quiz. If you do not have access tot his quiz, you can still go into the project and see if you can debug it.
Here is a way to remove backgrounds from images. It is a free online app. IMHO it is a lot easier than using Instant Alpha on pages or keynote and the images are instantly ready to upload to Scratch.
