Student+Expectations

Discussion Board Participation

Students are expected to engage in dialogue with their peers on the wiki discussion board. Please refer to each individual discussion assignment for specific times when initial posts and responses are due.Make sure to keep your conversation limited to the discussion topic.

Here are ways to respond to a classmate’s posting to encourage a dialogue:
 * Ask a probing or clarifying question.
 * Share an insight you gained from reading the colleague's posting.
 * Validate a colleague’s definition with your own experience.
 * Make a suggestion.
 * Expand on the colleague’s posting.
 * Ask for evidence that supports the posting.

You are expected to reflect on the responses colleagues made to your original post, noting what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of their comments.

Plagiarism

As you interact within the Scratch community you will find that sharing and collaborating with other student designers is encouraged. If you find a project that you like you may use it as a foundation in which to develop your project ideas. Scratch automatically gives credit to the original project creator. When you complete your work and submit to the Scratch site you will find your project listed under the Remixed projects and/or you will see the words under your project, "based on XYz's project".
