DESCRIPTION:Karen Brennan is a PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab\, a member of the  \n Scratch Team\, and leads the ScratchEd project. Her research is primarily  \n concerned with the ways in which learning communities support computational  \n creators. More concretely\, her work focuses on Scratch and the Scratch  \n educator community\, studying how participation in the Scratch online  \n community and how professional development for educators can support young  \n people as creators of computational media. She has a BSc in computer science  \n and mathematics\, a BEd in the same areas\, and an MA in curriculum studies --  \n all from the University of British Columbia.\n \n ABSTRACT\n Hundreds of thousands of young people have created more than 2.2 million  \n interactive digital media projects with Scratch and shared those projects  \n with others through the Scratch online community. How can we make the best  \n computational creation experiences that take place in this learning  \n environment\, which is characterized by low structure and high learner agency\,  \n accessible to more young people in learning environments like schools\, which  \n are often characterized by high structure and less learner agency? In this  \n talk\, I will describe how the online community and school contexts enable –  \n or do not enable – young people to develop as computational creators.\n \n Questions???
