    My y1s are really enjoying Scratchjr, great for younger children, and as it's a free app it's good for the school budget too.
  •  
    My 5 year old daughter loves Scratch Jr. She had a tutorial from us initially, but was able to use the software independently very quickly, to her own delight.
  •  
    I as a teacher love scratch. And of course for the students too, scratch is fun way of learning.
  •  
    I am began teaching coding this semester in my computer lab. I haven't played with scratch too much but look forward to using with my kids next week.
  •  
    I have used the computer version of Scratch with students in grades 3-6 (in Australia). My colleagues were amazed when students produced maze games where if the player bumped into the maze walls they were returned to the start - little did they know how easy it was once we got the hang of the coding. Great stuff.
  •  
    Actually there is also a new curriculum for Scratch with worksheets: http://scratched.gse.harvard.edu/guide/download.html It has also been translated into several languages. This is a very helpful tool if you want to start introducing programming to a class. I have been using it now twice, and I am happy with the outcome. In particular the worksheets are so helpful and give you more time to support the individual child.
  •  
    I have use code.org as an introduction before using scratch. It allows the children participate it in games involving angry birds, plants vs zombies, flappy birds and the disney frozen characters.

    A charity that sets out to inspire and support schools and families to take positive action so that the education of every child is enhanced by good access to, and use of, learning technologies when and where they need them. It offers advice and guidance to schools on how to run a 1-1 access programme that is equitable for all families. It runs a Donation Management Service (DMS) that enables schools to support 1-1 tablet access even for disadgantaged children. It does this by taking over the administrative burden of making regular collections from parents, to create provision for all children to have their personal access to a computer.
