Randall Caton commented on SQ-82:
---------------------------------

I have sent out an email describing my approach to the science and mathematics units for feedback. I haven't received any yet, but I will get feedback from some teachers I know and then start on one unit for each.

>          URL: http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-82
>      Project: squeakland
>         Type: Task
>   Components: education
>     Reporter: timothy
>     Priority: Critical
>      Fix For: spring blitz (may)

>
>   Time Spent: 1 hour, 30 minutes
>
> All lessons can be taught in one hour.
> Ten to fifteen "teaching etoys" lessons, which is the "etoys unit".
> This is followed by three or more "teaching with etoys" units, each covering something a 4th grade teacher needs to teach.
> The textbook/courseware should have 15 of these, covering the breadth of what you can use Etoys to teach.  We will sell at cost textbooks, workbooks (which contain unit handouts), and DVDs with the screencasts.   Textbook should have forward by Seymour Papert, afterword by Alan Kay.
> Let's focus on 4th graders.
> Goal will be to have 5 concurrent pilots this spring, each of which will teach a different 3 units of the 15.
> A good mix would be 3 units each for Lanuage Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies, and 1 unit each for Visual Arts, Music, and Health.
> Possible pilot areas:
> 1. Karen/Chicago Lab
> 2. Kathleen/Champaign IL
> 3. Crissi & Tim/Pennsylvania
> 4. Marta/Brazil
> 5. Bill/Virgin Islands
> 6. Christa & Susan/Naples
> 7. Donna/Immokalee
> 8. Mary/St Vincent
> 9. Abe-san/Japan
> 10. Adam/Nicaragua
> 11. Haiti
