[EDUCATION] Porting new wine into old bottles

[Edwin Pilobello]

Now that I'm supposed to be subscribed to this listserv, I'll continue this
thread here.

Of course you're absolutely right, Alan.  It is all about kids!  And I am
all for them.

Anywaym, I've made some inquiries with Logo Computing Systems Inc and the
possibility of acquiring a site license for an earlier version on
MicroWorlds.  But first, I need to inventory what is already there.  If the
PowerMacs can be maintained,  I'm quite certain that with trained teachers,
even Apple Basic could do the kids a lot of good.

If I can install SQUEAK then at least we can say that we have something
"new".

Well, it's always more about the kids than about Squeak. A great
system (in the hands of the right teachers) for this level machine is
LOGO Microworlds.
