Scratch - Conversations

Reflection:
Broadcast is a block used to start or trigger a specific script or saying, which is like an event that will only happen if another specific thing occurs. I used timing for most of the scratch except at the beginning where I used broadcast.

Try it out- Make a block

Reflection:
Make a block is a feature to help minimize several actions into one unique block. This can be very helpful if you want to repeat different actions multiple times. And instead of having to insert several blocks multiple times, you just add one.

Debug it Reflection

In computer applications we did some scratch debugging and one strategy I utilized for debugging was guess and check. I would assess whats wrong with the blocks and then guess what block might fix the problem. There was a lot of trial and error, but after a while I got better at assessing what was wrong and picking better blocks to fix the problem that made it go by a lot quicker. To help someone learn how to debug, I would teach them to pick out the key problems first and then look at all the blocks that could possibly fix it, and just play around with different orders.

10 Blocks Challenge

10 Blocks Challenge

Reflection:
This activity really helped me be more creative with the limitations in scratch and  learn more about what you can do with certain blocks. The restraint really helped me improvise with blocks that I wouldn't normally use for specific functions.

Try it Out Scratch

Try it out

Reflection:
This activity was surprisingly fun and I loved manipulating through the different features of Scratch. I thought that the step by step intro was very helpful to get to learn how to use scratch. I like having structure when learning new things and getting accustomed to how they work. But once I master something or at least get the hang of it, I normally like some more freedom. I feel most creative when there are no directions and we have to come up with a completely new idea ourselves.
