[Squeakland] How to share?

[José Luis Redrejo]

Hi, to solve this kind of issues, I developed some time ago something called
"Classroom". I did it in linux, but was tested in Windows Xp and it worked.
You can install it from the World menu->open->SqueakMap Package Loader.

Once installed  need to open the ObjectCatalog, Classroom flap.

The teacher must drag a "Teacher" square, and will show its ip (or name
network if a names server is available) that  automatically in the square,
so he doesn't need to know anything about networks, it's just a serie of
numbers.

The students must drag a "Student" square and write down the teacher ip
(obtained as explained above). Doing that, the teacher will see appearing
the ip addresses of the students in his "teacher square".

Since that moment, whenever the theacher drags and drops a morph on his
square, it will be received by the students.

I don't know if it's too complicated, I hope it helps.

Regards.
José L.
