I heartily recommend Powerful Ideas in the Classroom by BJ Allen-Conn and Kim Rose. It is geared toward middle school, but my two sons (age 5 and 7) and I had fun going through some of the exercises. The book is geared towards instructors. It makes a nice companion to the Squeakers film. Both of these are inexpensive and available at:

I am a general Squeak enthusiast, so I have also read the other English language books on Squeak listed at:

But, these are more for programmers and computer-science people.

Hello! I am a computer teacher in a K-8 school in Michigan. I am interested in learning more about how to use Squeak and in developing or acquiring some lesson plans to teach my students about this program. I signed up for this list about a week ago, and so far, I understand 'nothing' that I have read on this list. Do you have any suggestions about how I could learn more about this program, I have been to the web site and read everything there, but am still very unsure. I am willing to purchase a book and or set of lesson plans that might be good.
Thanks!
