RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 MUSÍLEK, Michal T1 PROJECT SCRATCH JF Journal of Technology and Information Education YR 2013 VO 5 IS 1 SP 102 OP 106 DO 10.5507/jtie.2013.015 UL https://jtie.upol.cz/artkey/jti-201301-0015.php AB The paper focuses on a children's programming language named SCRATCH and community project with the same name. It evaluates not only its unique strengths, but also indicates some reserves. The paper presents several examples which explain how to work with an integrated development environment and create the program composited from the prepared command blocks. This is similar to work with a quality building kit. The attention is aimed at work with graphic elements "sprites" and intuitive multi-threaded programming, in which individual scripts communicate with each other via messaging.
