[Squeakland] Some success: Four teachers at the school of my son are intereste d in learning Squeak (E-Toys)!

[Kim Rose]

Thanks for the note, Uwe -- I think 4 teachers is a great start! 
What we've found is once a few teachers begin to use Etoys at their 
school, others become more interested and come to look and learn and 
from there it may have more of a chance to spread (and the kids want 
to continue to use which puts pressure on the teahers ;-) .

Our colleagues in Germany may know of particular schools using..l 
hope they will correspond with you directly.

Good luck to you as you help the teachers.  I encougage you and each 
teacher to use the "Powerful Ideas in the Classroom" book as a guide 
to help you get started (I think you have one copy.)

regards,
Kim
