Phil, I hope you enjoyed the Seder you attended:) It occurred to me that there may be members of this Squeak community who don't have any context for the word "seder". Two sites that looked promising for those who may be interested in some general information are http://www.holidays.net/passover/ and http://learn.jtsa.edu/passover/. I chose these somewhat arbitrarily. Another site, www.passover.net offers information in Spanish, Italian and French, in addition to English. It is sponsored by Chabad Lubavitch and is Orthodox in its orientation.

Interesting...I actually saw this message on the Squeak archive. i didn't receive it on the mailing list, though.
Anyhow, even if the pen were down and the pendulum simulated reality i think it would draw lines on top of lines unless the area under the pen was scrolling. Do you see what I mean? I'm still hoping to get the pendulum to work although maybe that's not as important as the thinking about pendulum that I've been forced to do. I think it would be really powerful to get kids involved. We should try it out before the year is out...with something that's doable, or maybe not Wouldn't it be nice to have at least a few other teachers involved in this conversation? From PS 87 or from the local PDS? Is there a grant opportunity lurking in here someplace?
Off to a Seder now...enjoy! Phil

So I've been reading all of the emails. I had this idea about using the pen. When the pendulum was swinging if the pen was down, it would draw the arc. However, it wouldn't look like the Robolab one (at least not yet) but could it evenutally? Just a thought as I was sitting in traffic on the way home tonite.

Sheine, Yes, I did enjoy the Seder and thanks for inquiring. That message, however, was not intended for the list...I was sending it to a colleague and somehow it got sent out to the entire Squeakland list. Phil
