This is question from a few of the teachers in the District. They are using Scratch and would like to know how the student’s code should be copied in the Create PT task. They have been using PrintScreen function but any better suggestions will be welcome… Regards, VJ ---

I looked around a little and found this thread from another forum. It’s an old thread and not much different from what you mentioned. I hope this helps.

Thanks Terence, I will definitely pass on these ideas to the teachers. Hopefully somebody will find it useful. Regards, VJ
