I will consider using Etoys instead. Squeak just feels more like what Alan Kay and Seymour Papert had in mind.
Screencasts have their place. I just don't like the idea of going outside of Squeak to teach someone how to teach using Squeak. We need to bring back multimedia.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'll look more at how to make a screencast.

A very good goal. Have you considered using Etoys as a PowerPoint alternative? If your target is 14-18 year olds, this may be a much easier on-ramp for them. Your ideas and documentation are good a similar version for Etoys (perhaps using Event Theater to demonstrate how certain things are done would be nice as you can create "screencasts" within Etoys, just be sure not to move the mouse too quickly as it can cause problems).
If anyone has some time (ha ha) I would appreciate any and all comments,
starting with spelli... One idea is some sample books, perhaps along with screencasts on YouTube or embedded within the project using Event Theater to demonstrate how you made them.
