Scratch for CS First

Did you know Scratch is now part of Google CS First? It is the same Scratch we know and love, but just missing the community. It's a great way to introduce kids to Scratch housed inside Google CS First and using their Google log in! That's how Christine had her 4th grade students code their sounds for their Benchmark!
