We are in 2019, and finally, We can say that we have all the elements to jump into the future of education to catch the new generations that are deep into the technology, but where we have to start? well, the most logical step to begin this path is taught the cornerstone of this tech world that we are living that is the programming. But is that too difficult to learn? mmm... not really if you choose the right tool, that in this case is the MIT developed platform 'scratch', that is basically an interactive compiler that is oriented to teach and learned in a catchy way programming, animation and more.

Probably right after the first paragraph, you thought "more? what else can you learn with a programming/animation tool like scratch?", well to be clear probably with a compiler or a 'programming tool' you can't develop more than abilities related to mathematics, physics, or informatics, but what if We told you that scratch is used to teach music, literacy, animation, social studies and whatever you want to teach. Is that so? well to be clear year after year more educational institutions are using scratch in their programs to teach whichever subject that has a professional background or even in some cases they try to innovate creating new activities an example of that is the following video that explains an activity to create speech bubbles to teach a second language to SLA students:
Clearly, this kind of project has a certain structure and purpose, that is stated in some research around the web, for example, Saravanan and Dr.Nagadeepa in their job "ICT Applied Cooperative Learning Environment" they speak about web learning systems in which they have a turn into the classes that are centered in the teacher that pass to be centered in to the students, and that change give some benefits like a better environment or more compromise in the self-learning and cooperative learning.
