WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.440 Hi, everyone. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use the Scratch emulator in your online lessons. 00:06.240 --> 00:11.280 This allows you to add interactive coding activities that students can complete right inside your course. 00:12.320 --> 00:16.080 I'll break this down into three easy steps to make it simple to follow. 00:16.800 --> 00:20.240 First, we'll start with setting up the Scratch activity in your course. 00:20.880 --> 00:26.480 To add the Scratch Editor to a course, start by clicking on Courses in the left navigation. 00:26.560 --> 00:31.680 Once your course is page loads, locate the course you want to modify and click View Course. 00:32.400 --> 00:38.080 In this case, we're working with the Coding Foundations course. Wait for the course page to fully load, 00:38.080 --> 00:40.480 so you can see all the existing course content. 00:41.840 --> 00:46.080 Scroll down to find the section where you want to add your Scratch activity. 00:46.080 --> 00:52.160 Then click the Add Content plus icon. If you need to position the activity in a different location, 00:52.160 --> 00:57.120 scroll to the desired section and click another Add Content plus icon there instead. 00:57.440 --> 01:03.680 From the Add an activity or resource modal that appears, select Scratch Editor to add the 01:03.680 --> 01:08.560 block-based coding environment to your course. The Scratch Editor has been added to your course. 01:09.600 --> 01:14.960 Let's go to the next step, which is to configure activity settings. To configure the activity settings, 01:14.960 --> 01:18.960 click into this field and type in a descriptive name for your Scratch activity. 01:22.560 --> 01:35.040 Head down to the Description field and add instructions or context for your students about what 01:35.040 --> 01:37.040 they'll be creating. 01:45.040 --> 01:49.840 Let's expand the Completion Conditions section by clicking here to set how students will finish 01:49.840 --> 01:54.880 this activity. Select this option so students can manually mark when they've completed their 01:54.880 --> 02:00.160 Scratch project. You can adjust the reminder date in your course timeline by changing the day 02:00.160 --> 02:07.040 here to match your lesson schedule. Once you're satisfied with the settings, click Save and Display 02:07.040 --> 02:13.760 to create your Scratch activity. Let's go to the next step, which is to customize the stage and 02:13.760 --> 02:19.200 build a script. To customize the stage and build a script, the activity page loads with our Scratch 02:19.200 --> 02:24.240 Editor ready to go. Scroll down to explore the available code block categories that you'll use 02:24.240 --> 02:32.160 for programming. Click the Add Extension button here to see additional programming features. 02:32.160 --> 02:37.440 Select Choose an extension to explore what's available, then return to the main editor. 02:37.440 --> 02:42.880 Let's customize our stage by clicking the Choose a Backdrop icon to change the background. 02:43.280 --> 02:51.040 Select the Arctic backdrop from the library to give our project a cool winter theme. 02:51.040 --> 02:55.840 With the backdrop applied, click the Full Screen Control button to get a better view of our stage. 02:56.560 --> 03:01.440 Let's start building our script by dragging a Move 10 steps block into the scripting area. 03:02.080 --> 03:06.960 Change the value from 10 to 300 so our sprite will move a greater distance across the stage. 03:07.920 --> 03:13.680 Click the Move 300 steps block to test it and watch the sprite glide across the stage. 03:14.240 --> 03:20.720 Browse through the code categories and drag a Say Hello for two seconds block to add speech to our 03:20.720 --> 03:26.800 sprite. Scroll down to find the costume block and drag Switch Costume to Costume to to make the 03:26.800 --> 03:32.160 sprite change appearance. Click the stack of connected blocks to run the sequence and see the 03:32.160 --> 03:38.880 sprite move, speak, and change costumes. Add some visual effects by dragging both a hide block 03:38.880 --> 03:45.520 and a show block into your scripting area. Arrange all the blocks in the sequence you want, 03:45.520 --> 03:55.520 then click the stack to watch your sprite perform the complete animation sequence. 03:56.240 --> 04:03.840 Let's go to the next step which is to mark the activity as complete. To mark the activity as 04:03.840 --> 04:12.080 complete, scroll up to find the button at the top of the page. Click the Mark as Done button to 04:12.080 --> 04:16.560 submit your completed Scratch project. You can see the activity now shows as completed, 04:16.560 --> 04:20.880 confirming that your Scratch coding lesson has been successfully finished and recorded in the 04:20.880 --> 04:26.480 core system. And that's it. You've marked the activity as complete. You've now set up and 04:26.480 --> 04:36.800 use the Scratch emulator in your lesson. Your students are ready to start coding.
