ScratchJr
ScratchJr is a fun place where you can make your own stories and games. You use colorful blocks to make characters move, jump, and talk. You don’t have to type. You just drag and snap the blocks together.
When I looked at it, I saw you can make your own characters and tell your own story, like a cat moving across the screen or saying something funny. It’s like playing, but you are the one in charge. I like this website because you get to create your own ideas and be creative. You should try it because you can make your own game and feel like a real creator.

Kialo Edu is a website where you can share your ideas and talk about big questions with your class. You can say what you think about a topic and also see what other people think, with reasons for and against different ideas. It helps you learn how to explain your thinking and listen to others in a kind and respectful way.
You can add your ideas under a question and choose if you agree or disagree, then give your reason. It looks like a big thinking map where everyone’s ideas are connected.
I like this website because it helps you think deeper and share your opinion, not just give quick answers. You should try it because it helps you become a better thinker and learn how to explain your ideas clearly without just saying “because I said so.”
Tinkercad
Tinkercad is a website where you can build things on the computer using simple shapes like blocks. You can create toys, houses, or anything you imagine, kind of like digital building blocks.
When I looked at it, I saw you can move and stack shapes to make things like cars or name tags.
I like this site because you get to create your own ideas. You should try it because you can design and build like a real inventor.
