Class Experience

This class is designed for beginners. It is a perfect follow up class for my "Learn the Basics of Scratch Coding to Make a Simple Game," however students who have no experience are welcome!

This class along with other beginner Scratch classes are also included in my 5-Day Scratch Coding Camp (offered in Summer) if you are interested in bundling my beginner classes together! Each game teaches different coding strategies to create different styles of games on Scratch.

This class focuses on learning how to use variables and cloning to create a simple game (watch the video to see a sample of the game!).

I will be demonstrating the code as the students follow along. It is recommended that the students have a separate device to work from their zoom device if at all possible. It is also recommended that the student use Scratch on a computer (not a tablet). The tablet version is not as functional and students will not be able to test their code on the tablet.

Supply List

Please have your child's Scratch account (free on scratch.mit.edu) created and logged in before class. As stated in the class description it is recommended that the student have a computer to work on and, if possible, have dual screens or separate devices so that they can watch my demo while they work.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

My name is Meagan Khatthaname and I am an elementary teacher who is now teaching fourth grade. I am a former computer teacher who loves teaching Scratch coding and computer skills! 

Beginner Scratch courses
I will be offering various Scratch courses for students to learn the basics of Scratch and how to make games and projects. Send me a question to ask about private classes, too!


Homeschool Computer classes
I offer private computer classes for students who are homeschooled or want to supplement their regular classes with computer/tech classes. I also have some group Google slides classes.

I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education from UMKC in 2013
I taught in a brick and mortar public school for 6 years as a 4th-grade classroom teacher then a computer and STEM teacher.
I am TESOL certified (since 2015)
I taught ESL online for 3 years, but I'm now back into the classroom teaching 4th grade again!

When it comes to kids' learning, the sky is truly the limit. Too often I think kids are underestimated in just what they can accomplish. Giving children the opportunity to explore their talents and interests is such an important thing! As an educator, I have felt that exploring a child's strengths is the best way to help them succeed in life. Fostering a child's interests into lifelong skills not only helps them succeed but allows them to feel empowered and confident!
