"In classrooms, students have begun to use Scratch to create reports and presentations—replacing traditional PowerPoint presentations with content that is far more dynamic and interactive."(Resnick )The first time I ever heard about this Scratch program was in this class. I find that surprising considering that it could potentially replace PowerPoint some day in the future. The article expresses that scratch users are developing presentations that exceed the creative limits of PowerPoint presentations. This program allows its user to become more involved in their research by having the capabilities to create simulations. For example, the text details the experiments of younger students. One boy was able to show the flashing of a lightening storm within a project on Benjamin Franklin. By doing this, it would seem to me that the viewers would have a more aesthetic experience that that of traditional PowerPoint viewers.
