I'm a graduate student currently working on the development of the Scratch Online Community, a place where kids and novices can share their own games, interactive art and digital stories created in the Scratch programming language. We're organizing a conference for educators, researchers, developers, and other members of the worldwide Scratch community. If you use Scratch or are interested in learning more about it, we hope to see you here at MIT this summer!; ▶ Reply to This

So, I am very impressed with it and want to use it next semester with my classes. All the best with the planning for your conference. Will there be anything offered online?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Martin Jorgensen on June 9, 2008 at 8:06pm: So hi ... my name is Martin Jorgensen. I'm in Melbourne Australia.

I'm a third year pre-service teacher. I have a background in professional writing, usability and design ... and I'm fascinated by new ways of introducing narrative to students from p - 12.

Last year I built www.lightningbug.com.au ... a site about story, with buckets of resources for students writing at home, and for teachers - with a teaching portal that includes lesson plans, electronic whiteboard pages and a lots more.

This year, I'm building www.thedigitalnarrative.com ... a website about building stories using digital media - ipods, SMS, mind maps, online calendars, wiki's ... you name it.

I'd love to hear from anyone interested in contributing to the project, or has experiences they'd like to share.

Cheers
