Using Squeak in Instruction and Learning
General Orientation required for attendees of both sessions -
April 10 (5:00pm - 9:00pm)
Two workshops available (choose one):
MSTU5510 (section number and CRN TBA) April 11
MSTU5510 (section number and CRN TBA) April 12
9:00am - 6:00pm
Available for 1 credit @ $780 or 1.5 CEU's @ $225
Instructors: Dr. Danielle Kaplan, Kim Rose, BJ Conn, & Alan Kay

These workshops provide an introduction to Squeak, a software
program that provides opportunities for instructors to construct
learning materials. Influenced by the theories of Dewey and
Montessori, Squeak is a technology medium designed for creating
projects and representing ideas with programmable objects, which can
be shared over the Internet. Of use to teachers, learning
specialists, and educational technology developers, these workshops
will explore using Squeak in instruction and learning. Elementary,
middle and high school teachers interested in integrating technology
into curricula are especially encouraged to attend. During the
course, participants will be introduced to Squeak's capabilities,
with activities that will include hands-on practice. In addition,
participants will design instructional and research activities under
the guidance of the group. Readings will be provided prior to the
workshop via the web. Visit www.squeakland.org for more information
on the program.

Dr. Alan Kay will present the lecture on April 10th for the General 
Orientation.  Workshops on April 11 and 12 will be led by Danielle 
Kaplan, Kim Rose (Viewpoints Research Institute, and Hewlett Packard) 
and BJ Conn, 4th and 5th grade teacher at the Los Angeles Open 
Charter School.
Dr. Danielle Kaplan is Assistant Professor of Technology and 
Education at Teachers College.
