About SuperSwikis
by Fernando 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hi again. Thanks Uwe, Karl and Kim for your appointments. Now I have a "SuperList" of Projects and Respositories : ) http://squeak.usc.es/USCSqueak/12 Another issue: we live in Galicia, northwest of Spain. We're very interested to explore all the possibilities of Squeak in education. Looking for other repositories we'd like to build a Galician Repository. Surfing the web I found this installer: http://www.squeakland.org/installers/SuperSwikiInstaller.exe and this code to include the repository in Squeak: http://superswikifr.ofset.org:8000/super/16 Is there a most recent installer for a SuperSwiki? Thanks, Fernando. --------------------------------- LLama Gratis a cualquier PC del Mundo. Llamadas a fijos y móviles desde 1 céntimo por minuto. http://es.voice.yahoo.com

suggested 1 hour squeak exercise for various student age groups?
by Daniel Green 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Looks like our local university will have the opportunity to lead a 1 hour programming class for various age groups (5-8, 9-12, 13-16) for the local science club. We're considering using squeak instead of something like visual basic / real basic, but I'm not sure where to find what's been done before. The class will be taught on networked laptops, so something motivating like be the first to construct an e- toy that achieves some goal, etc., is the kind of thing that might be scalable across age ranges. Any suggestions or pointers to short courses that have been given in similar circumstances? Thanks for any input or pointers to more appropriate forums. Best regards, -- DanG Daniel Green William Jewell College / Park University Kansas City, Missouri
