As originally Scooped by @Anne Whisken; I appreciate the points the author makes re: setting up a space where it's not "us" and "them" -- also appreciated his discussion of the Apple Stores and how that might work in a library space.

25 Resources To Teach Programming With Scratch | Library Evolution (and Makerspaces) | Scoop.it
Try something new with your students this year. 

I normally don't like to create "click bait" blog post titles, but this one
seemed to fit. Twenty-five resources can be overwhelming, but there is a
good mix of different types of items. There are links to websites with

As someone currently studying a university course online, I found this very interesting indeed. I have no access to online tutoring at all, yet my counterparts who attend live lectures DO. I have asked about the availablity of such session, but it is usually met with comments about inadequate/unreliable technology or not being able to find a time that everyone can be part of the session...to me, since I am paying the same fees as those attending in person, this is NOT good enough!
