Task

Using Computational Thinking processes as your guide, evaluate the affordances and constraints of using Scratch-visual programming language for teaching or learning.

Additionally, refer to the 6 guiding questions to asses the Affordances & Constraints:

1. What is the learning objective and how will this tool/app/resource allow us to reach it?
2. Will this tool/app/resource allow us to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and engagement?
3. What are the privacy and terms of service that may impact our use of this tool/app/resource?
4. What are the technological, costs and systems requirements?
5. Is there a steep learning curve in order to use this tool/app/resource?
6. How does this tool/app/resource enable us to achieve higher order thinking and sustainable practice
