Using Scratch in the classroom to teach control concepts

Summary: 

I'm a teacher who has used Scratch in my classroom since 2007. Recent changes to the curriculum include a greater emphasis on using the computer as a tool to solve problems that pre-written applications software cannot tackle. In my presentation, I draw from my students' experiences of using Scratch to model and interact with the outside world.
