Other Details
Parental Guidance
Parents, please be advised that while Scratch online provides a safe and kid-friendly environment for learning and creating, it's important to remind your child about internet safety. It's necessary for your child to have an active Scratch account to participate in our sessions. However, I want to assure you that the other resources we use do not require an account to be made, ensuring accessibility for all participants.
During our sessions, we may conduct image searches via Google, with my guidance to help buffer any potentially inappropriate content. However, it's important to note that the internet can be unpredictable. Rest assured, I will closely monitor these searches and promptly close any content I deem unsafe or inappropriate. Additionally, we utilize background remover and GIF background remover tools to clean up images before incorporating them into Scratch projects, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for our young learners.
Furthermore, as part of our resources, we also incorporate the trivia platform Blooket, which offers engaging and interactive quizzes to reinforce learning and add an element of fun to our sessions.
