What is Scratch?
Scratch is a website that allows you to code. Scratch Jr is very similar, but is geared toward ages 5-7. There is also a free Scratch Jr. app for iPads. Scratch looks very similar to code.org, in the fact that you drag connecting boxes to write the program. Scratch does not have in-depth walk through tutorials like code.org has. The benefit lies in the fact that students can create anything they want.
