Animation+-+Flying+Logo

Thank you to the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab for Scratch, a program that brings animation to the hands of a rank amateur. This was an enjoyable but incredibly labor intensive project: make sure you've spent some time with this before you introduce it to students. I learned quite a bit from the online tutorials, but the most effective learning tool for me was to download other people's work to "reverse engineer" the processes and determine their functions. Because Scratch automatically attributes the original author in any subsequent adaptations shared on the site, this is an excellent discussion prompt for fair use with students.
