Hi Leo,
Answer 1:
I'm working with 14-18 year olds.
Answer 2:
I've used all different versions of Squeak over the past 2 1/2 years -
anywhere from the 1999 versions up to the plugin version they have now (both
Mac and pc versions).
Answer 3:
To take pictures, bring up a world menu ("alt-shift-w" for pc), click on
"new morph...," "grab patch from screen," and grab the picture you want.
With my best,
Naala
