<p>I will consider using Etoys instead. Squeak just feels more like what Alan Kay and Seymour Papert had in mind.</p></blockquote><div>Etoys came from Alan and his group at VPRI (see: <a href="http://www.squeakland.org/about/people/)">http://www.squeakland.org/about/people/)</a> </div>

<p>Screencasts have their place. I just don&#39;t like the idea of going outside of Squeak to teach someone how to teach using Squeak. We need to bring back multimedia.</p></blockquote><div>Agreed, multimedia is definitely needed. Event Theater inside Etoys allows for &quot;screencasting&quot; within Etoys.  The advantage of a YouTube video (or vimeo et al) is that it helps you reach a wider audience and introduce them to the ideas. </div>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to comment. I&#39;ll look more at how to make a screencast.</p></blockquote><div>If you have a Mac (10.6 or higher and iMovie I created a blog post on how to create a screencast <a href="http://mrstevesscience.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-i-create-etoys-minute-videos-for.html">here</a></div>
