Hi all, This email is just to tell you that the spanish squeak group Small Land (www.small-land.org) has launched its first squeak project. It has been done by Diego Gómez Deck (and old chap for most of you) and tries to use an idea from a Papert book (The Children's Machine) where he explained how a child understood the diference between odd & even with a small program. You can test it at http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?http://swiki.agro.uba.ar/small_land/up...
I also would like to use this message to make a small presentation of the things we are working on our swiki. Our present projects are: - Personalization of the squeak image - Spanish localization of squeak (in collaboration with similar german and japanese projects) - Making of a live linux cd with squeak as desktop. - Repository of s ququeak projects classified by subject and children ages. - Translation of the most famous squeak tutorials - Tutorial on teaching to use squeak as a presentation programs (powerpoint clone)
Teachers of schools, high schools and universities are our target. We want to personalize and translate squeak, prepare tutorials, examples and working tools for them trying to make the jump to squeak as easy as possible, specially thinking that many (maybe most) of them aren't computer specialists. We welcome any ideas and help (we need a lot of both). Best regards
