Ralf Romeike is a researcher at University of Potsdam. This website chronicles how his students (eleventh graders) learned to program by designing animations and games using Scratch. The author explains how Scratch creatively introduces computer programming, and provides lesson outlines for initial programming lessons. Perhaps what make this website valuable are Romeike's observations on his students' progress and student projects.

The website is available in English and German.
