In this guide, you’ll learn how to make your own data tracker by creating multiple switches and a counting system in Scratch. This can be used to track data as you wish. You might create a system for seeing how many students per grade level visit the library, or you might want to see how well your students felt about a concept you just covered in class.

One is a „data tracker“ for libraries and the other is an „exit ticket“ for classrooms. I’ve included two ways to code this system in Scratch and two different ways to make switches. Feel free to remix and hack this idea and make it your own! A special thanks to Mrs. Barr for letting me set up and test the data tracker in her library and Mrs. Schlung for letting me set up and test this exit ticket system in her classroom.
