The Teacher's Guide to Scratch - Section 2: Widget/Microprojects Section Only
This is Section 2: Widgets of The Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course as a stand-alone offering. It covers 20 separate micro-projects perfect for giving you a wide-range of skills quickly. You'll learn a whole bunch of different techniques and concepts in Scratch through practical hands-on coding that are perfect projects for using in the classroom. If you haven't used Scratch before, we highly recommend starting with Section 1: Introduction to familiarize yourself with the layout, terminology and basic interaction in Scratch.

The Teacher's Guide to Scratch - Section 3: Main Projects
This is The Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course's section 3: Main Projects as a standalone offering. It covers 4 major projects - Dodge Potato, Snakes & Ladders, 2 Player Pacman, and an Ocean Biome Simulation. It includes 53 videos with almost 12 hours of instructional content. The projects included cover a wide-range of essential skills, examples and methods that will help you understand how to approach almost any project in Scratch. They offer you deeper learning than once shot micro-projects and cover more structures, methods and interaction. Each project is designed to not only teach you, but also appeal to students. Though the projects would take multiple periods to work through, providing deeper understanding and essential training for students to build their own complex projects and move beyond tutorials.

The Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course
This is a comprehensive course for teachers to learn how to use Scratch (MIT's free coding education platform) and how to use it in a classroom practice. It provides training from zero knowledge of coding or Scratch through introductory, intermediate and into advanced levels of skill and knowledge. Developed as a sister course to The Teacher's Guide to Scratch book series published by Routledge, it contains entirely unique material. Both can be used as complimentary or stand alone training. The course provides instruction on the Scratch website, Scratch editor, block coding, digital art creation, coding techniques, digital project management tips, multiple projects to use in-class, as well as explanations of all key computer science terminology and methods necessary for any K-12 coding curriculum, and pedagogy and practice tips for integrating coding in your classroom. This course does it all - a one stop full learning path to learning coding and integrating coding into your classroom!

The Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course - Section 4: Concepts & Theory Only
This is Section 4: Concepts & Theory of The Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course as a stand-alone offering. It covers 33 videos and 7 hours of instructional content designed to help you understand coding and computer science terms, theories and models helpful for K-12 education. The videos are divided into four sections - one on basic computer science concepts, a section on Computational Thinking, a section on Design Thinking, and a final section with a focus on game development. The videos will help explain the concepts so that you have the deeper understanding of the subject, important context, and useful knowledge to help teach the concepts to students, or better inform your own coding pedagogy. This only covers section 4 of the full Teacher's Guide to Scratch course. You can sign up for the full course at a discount.

The Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course - Section 5: Pedagogy & Practice Standalone
This is the 5th Section of the full Teacher's Guide to Scratch Online Course. It covers Pedagogy & Practice - or discussions and examples of how Scratch coding can be implemented in the classroom. It contains 47 videos and almost 12 hours of instructional material. In the first section on Classroom Techniques it covers Reveal styles for introducing material to students, project or assignment types, and work dynamics. In the Coding Project Concepts it discusses ways to challenge (and occupy) students with meaningful tasks and challenges. A section discusses Considerations and Challenges when doing coding with Scratch. A section on Material Evaluation will help give you information and skills to assessing materials and activities to use in your classroom. Importantly there's also a section on Student Assessment to help you understand ways to grade assignments and performance of students as well as help the class make the most of their coding projects for learning.
