How to use programing, coding in teaching social sciences?

Can I teach programming and historical facts at the same time? Can I use a computer program to to help my students to memorize English structures? It is not unconceivable by scratch.

What is scratch? “With Scratch, you can program your own interactive stories, games, and animations — and share your creations with others in the online community.

Scratch helps young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century.”

It is suitable not only for starting to teach programing, or developing reasoning, but also to teach, to help memorizing language structures, words, historical data, or anything. It can be used to improve memory, creativity, logical thinking.

This course has been created for teachers who teach foreign languages, history, literature, grammar, geography, want to refresh their methods, are open to novelties and apply totally up-to date possibility in teaching. The course introduces you into this very simple programing language, and gives you tools to apply it in every day teaching. At the end of the course the participants will be able to make their own animations, interactive stories, and own a wide range of methodological tools to apply them systematically, perfectly.
