Hi all -
I'm the technology teacher at a small (ca 350 kids) K-8 elementary school in Chicago, and am just starting to excitedly experiment with Squeak with a couple of classes that I teach.
We've got a lab of 18 iMacs (running OS9), all connected to a central Apple G4 that we use as a server. All of our kids have individual password protected access to a folder of their own on the server. In addition, we're running a protection program (FoolProof) to keep kids from messing around with the hard drive, etc.
My question: Is there an easy way to have kids publish their projects to our server? Right now, they're just publishing them to the "My Squeak" folder on their individual machines, but I can see this becoming problematic quite soon. I've come into teaching computers through the back door (having taught art and been a classroom teacher, worked in museums, done a bit of graphic design, etc.), so I am an utter Newbie (note the capital 'N') with most things technical.
thanks for your help!

Hi, David,

There are different ways to configure Squeak for this kind of setting. If you could send a few more details off-list, then I will try to find a working solution for you.
Which reminds me that I should write up a FAQ or how-to and make it available on the squeakland site.
Cheers
