Greetings, Squeaklanders -
As you know we've been working on improving the Squeakland website,
adding new content, and preparing an "olpc-compatible" version/
download for those of you on platforms other than the "XO" as well as
the "XO".
On the new site we want to showcase YOU -- the Etoy community -- and
provide pointers and links to as many external websites featuring
Squeak ETOYS from as many parts of the world as possible. Many of
your sites are already featured on our current site, but some may be
outdated and we know there are more that we are unaware of that
contain valuable content for newcomers to Etoys, etc.
If you are involved in an Etoys community that has a website, please
send us the url and one or two sentences we can use to describe your
community (i.e., "we are part of a University in XXcountry
investigating how Etoys might be used in teaching colleges for math/
science education" or "We are a community of users in Korea
who....." (you get the idea.)
We really want to create a clearinghouse/central location for Etoys
that can continue to grow and where Etoy users can share ideas,
projects, curricula, their stories, their local events, participation
in conferences, etc., etc.
We look forward to hearing from you and including your site on the
new Squeakland.org.
We hope you are enjoying your summer -- wherever you are!
best regards,
Kim
