====== Preparation ======
Make sure that Scratch is installed on the classroom computers.  If you don't see the Scratch Icon on the desktops, follow these [[http://wiki.bworks.org/doku.php/scratch_installation_package|installation instructions]]




====== Points ======
Perhaps we could pass the mouse around, and kids could point to the various features of Scratch.  This might be a cool idea, and would keep the kids' focus on the main screen, keeping them all on the same page.

====== Demo Packages ======
TODO: Find way of uploading .tgz files to wiki.
