Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies MOOC’s Updates

Describe and evaluate a program, platform or pedagogy for increasing the understanding of how computing works.

Well I honestly haven't tried any such program nor platform; however, after watching those videos I figured that I might want to check out one of the platforms discussed which is Scratch, having been mentioned that it can be used in teaching Science, so I thought I might want to check it out.https://scratch.mit.edu/

While checking this website out I came across this Science lab game that had 2 modes (experiment mode and game mode). I thought this is a very fun way to teach students the basics of experimenting in a fun and engaging way. Also from what I could figure out was that the designer of this Science Lab Game was a student himself who took great pride in his work. Also many students (most probably his age) interacted and shared fun comments. (Pictures attached)
