In week 3 we have talked about the potential of Scratch in promoting connections between subjects and also the possibility to enrich the building of projects with Scratch combining tools and different kinds of media, seeking for diversity, integration and better learning in all educational contexts and curricular areas.
An account on MIT Scratch was created for all of CoP teachers, so projects could be easily downloaded as examples and everyone could see how they were made  (http://scratch.mit.edu/users/scratchingenious ) On that account we have already collected and shared some projects (favorite) that address directly STEM areas. This account was created because scratch format (being an executable) cannot be shared easily as files/documents in external servers.
We started to think about the ways Scratch promotes STEM education, but this important discussion was not yet come to an end and so it is important to get back to this subject.
Several teachers already shared some of their first experiences with scratch with students and the general feelings of those who engaged in experimenting is good and they desire to continue.
