Resources
The following is a list of various Scratch resources you may find helpful in your study for this course and in your planning for teaching in your classroom. This is by no means a "complete" list of resources and while we implicitly endorsing items based on their inclusion on this list, the absence of a resource should not be seen as a lack of endorsement.
