<p>I will consider using Etoys instead. Squeak just feels more like what Alan Kay and Seymour Papert had in mind.</p></blockquote><div>Etoys came from Alan and his group at VPRI (see: <a href="http://www.squeakland.org/about/people/)">http://www.squeakland.org/about/people/)</a> </div>

<p>Screencasts have their place. I just don't like the idea of going outside of Squeak to teach someone how to teach using Squeak. We need to bring back multimedia.</p></blockquote><div>Agreed, multimedia is definitely needed. Event Theater inside Etoys allows for "screencasting" within Etoys. The advantage of a YouTube video (or vimeo et al) is that it helps you reach a wider audience and introduce them to the ideas. </div>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll look more at how to make a screencast.</p></blockquote><div>If you have a Mac (10.6 or higher and iMovie I created a blog post on how to create a screencast <a href="http://mrstevesscience.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-i-create-etoys-minute-videos-for.html">here</a></div>

If your target is 14-18 year olds, this may be a much easier on-ramp for them. Your ideas and documentation are good a similar version for Etoys (perhaps using Event Theater to demonstrate how certain things are done would be nice as you can create "screencasts" within Etoys, just be sure not to move the mouse too quickly as it can cause problems).</div>
