Dear Squeaklanders,
Happy Summer! For those of you affiiliated with schools or universities I imagine your summer has just begun. I hope you all had a wonderful academic year.
Before you go off on well-deserved holidays, or get "out of school mode", we at Viewpoints Research ask a favor: If you've been using Squeak/Etoys this year with your children (at home, school, after school clubhouses, etc., etc.) we'd love to receive your feedback! Please send us (and the whole list if you'd like) your thoughts, remarks, suggestions, frustrations, etc. It will be very helpful to us in many ways.
Also, if you and/or your students have created projects you would be willing to share, if you could put those on a personal homepage or school website we could point/link from the Squeakland.org site it would be fantastic. We're hoping to build more links to help others see the kinds of Etoy projects created using Squeak.
We're working on an improved version of Squeak this summer which we'll make available in August -- in time for your testing/playing before the start of the next academic year. Stay tuned for more news on that front.
In the meantime, we'd love your feedback on the experiences you had this school year and we wish you all a marvelous summer!
We look forward to seeing some of you at SqueakFest in Chicago. If you haven't yet, and still want to come, there's a few days left to "register". (See Squeakland.org and "Squeak News" for details.)
best regards, Kim
Hi Kim,
I am not a School teacher, just a parent who is actively involved in learning Squeak. I will be conducting a Squeak workshop in Fall at my son's school (Harmony Middle: http://www.bv229.k12.ks.us/HMS/), in conjunction with the Guided Discovery Program coordinator Mrs. Carolyn Demory.
I am very interested in SqueakFest and would like to participate with my 12 year old son, if it is not too late ...I am under the impression that this only for teachers and so I did not register earlier.
But now since I will interacting with a bunch of smart kids at Harmony, I thought I should take a chance.
Please advice. -- Shashank
