The idea behind the Scratch program, interestingly enough, is analogous to metaphors associated with the language arts and stories associated with the “hard core” and social sciences in that it tell stories, in a much more interdisciplinary, computer science manner.
Scratch in particular, is a great tool for learning because it incorporates a lot of the internet exchanges of Serendip using a lot of similar concepts available on Powerpoint which is essentially the implicit function of computer science on learning.
