Students should have a basic understanding of Scratch.
-Students will learn how to control the direction their sprite moves by following the mouse pointer.
-Students will learn how to add sprites to a project
-A ghost randomly appears on the screen, once you whack it, it appears somewhere else
-You have 30 seconds to whack as many ghosts as you can
-Students should know how to have 2 windows open at a time, or have 2 screens available.
- One window is for Zoom, the other is where they will create their Scratch program
Please be on time for class as it is disruptive to other students to have to wait for a late student to catch up. If you are going to be late, email me and I will transfer you to another class. Thank you for understanding.Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Pennsylvania State University
Hi, my name is Dan Hartman. I have many years of experience as an elementary and middle school technology teacher (Pk-8). I have a bachelor's degree from Penn State in Computer Science and over 25years of working in the computer science world. For years I have been bringing the joy of coding into PK-8 classrooms, with my passion for teaching technology and a skill for turning learning into an adventure, I inspire young minds to explore the digital world with creativity and curiosity.
I always try to make my teaching fun; students will see me wearing different hats and wigs to liven things up. I was a kid once, too and I can relate that it can be intimidating trying to warm up to a new teacher. In my classes, we will joke a bit and have a good time. But guess what, you will learn how to code.
Last but not least, I realize that not all students pick up everything as quickly, so I try not to leave anyone hanging. I will often extend class sessions for one or a couple students. We can even zoom in at another time. My approach is that no student should leave without understanding the material.
I look forward to seeing you in my class!Reviews
