Squeakfest
by Rita Freudenberg 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Dear all, while preparing Squeakfests, we are thinking about what kind of workshops to provide and of having a technical track, too. So what I would like to know, is, what do *you* want to see or hear about on Squeakfest? Please tell us your ideas! Greetings, Rita

Dear Randy, The school is about 15 km away from Kathmandu and they have computer room. We have left a set of Squeak and Scratch software for their use and teaching. We have assured them that we will provide any kind of support if required madhur BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; } On Wed 20/05/09 4:12 PM , Randy Heiland heiland(a)indiana.edu sent: Thank you for sharing your report. I was just curious, does the school have any computers and, if so, did the children get to play with Squeak or Scratch? I was also curious as to where exactly the school is located in Nepal? I'm guessing that SeaGate is located in Kathmandu, but am guessing the school is a long way away? thanks, Randy On May 20, 2009, at 1:19 AM, SeaGate Instiute of Technology wrote: > Enclosed kindly find the outcome of Squeak and Scratch Seminar > > > Best regards, > Madhur K Shrestha > SeaGate Institute of Technology > SeaGate92(a)wlink.com.np [1]; SeaGate92(a)gmail.com [2] > SeaGate.com.np > 00977 1 5528481, 5537231 > ------------------------- Msg sent via Webmail Links: ------ [1] http://webmail.worldlink.com.np/javascript:top.opencompose(\'SeaGate92(a)wlink.com.np\',\'\',\'\',\'\') [2] http://webmail.worldlink.com.np/javascript:top.opencompose(\'SeaGate92(a)gmail.com\',\'\',\'\',\'\')

Squeak Education Units
by Randall Caton 20 May '09

20 May '09

Dear Squeakers, We are currently working on a Squeakland Courseware web page which will contain Etoys projects in several content areas for 9 and 10 year olds. I attached a document with suggested content areas and learning approaches for the Mathematics and Science units. I would appreciate any feedback you have on the suggestions I propose before I begin creating the units. We will only create three of each and I would like to make sure the suggested units I propose will be useful in the classroom and for home schooling. I look forward to your comments. Please email me directly at rcaton(a)cnu.edu. Thanks, Randy Caton -- The views expressed in this email are my own and not necessarily those of CNU.

We are in the state of collecting project ideas and writing outlines of each lesson. We are focusing on 4th grade students, you did write that you are working at the university. Are you planning to use them with your university students? I would love to hear more about what you are doing in your educational technology courses!

Quick testing of Etoys on Windows7
by Korakurider 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi all. As Rita is trying to run Etoys on Windows7 (discussed in squeak-dev), I also tried it :-) I had to make small twaek on installer script; It checkes windows version and change file layout and replace some file (browser plugin). The trick was Win7 has its own version number "6.1" that the script was't aware of, (Vista is 6.0). Win7 is very similar to vista, so I made the script do same stuff for win7. With modified installer, Etoys is installed successfully, run without gotchas during making security key, run in IE8 (without protection mode though). This is just result quick testing.,, I will test it extensively. How can I contribute the modified scripts? /Korakurider

Script: repeat 4 times: do: Rocket.turn by (90) Rocket.wait(1) Rocket.forward by (100) Rocket.wait(1) Is there option to do it? Thanks, Roman
