[squeakland] Example of using Etoys as a "playthink" for teaching and learning

Folks,

I created a set of Pattern Blocks using the Polygon object and a set of transformation tools.

Here is another video example of how you can use Etoys in the classroom.

A copy of the project can be found on Squeakland herehttp://www.squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=10216, I also created a Blog Posthttp://mrstevesscience.blogspot.com/2010/08/fun-with-pattern-blocks-and.html with some more details on the scripting used, but the simplest is to look for yourself. Get the viewers from the transformation tiles and look at the "doIt" scripts for each object. I'll put up a post/screencast later on the player variable, which took me way to long to find and is very useful.

Feedback and suggestions for uses and improvements always welcome.
