Amen to that!  Alan did this about the time I was coming to terms with Squeak, and I found it tremendously helpful, not only for the tutorial material itself but for the degree to which Alan shared his thought processes as he assembled the tutorial over a period of time.

I've often wondered how that story ended -- whether Tamika was able to bring Squeak successfully to her class, and how she may have progressed since then.

  Jerry --

  Could you post your field notes from your eToys demo?  Also it would be great to see what the teachers' questions were.

  You may have already found this on the Web, but Alan Kay did a fairly detailed tutorial/exploration of eToys-and-Squeak for Tamika Knox's class problem.  See http://www.squeakland.org:8080/super/200 .  

  I found that link via Google.  I suspected that it was on the Squeakland Swiki, but I couldn't find the link when I navigated around the Squeakland website --  neither http://squeakland.org/author/swikis.html nor http://squeakland.org/author/swikiserver.html points to the Swiki homepage URL  ( http://squeakland.org:8080/super ).

  I have some "field notes" from an attempt I made to show etoys to teachers-to-be in UCSD's Teacher Education Program that I would love to share with people on this list.  Some of the contents border on painful, but if I could only answer all *their* questions (and remember, if I am twice-, these teachers are three-times-removed from Squeak-insiderness),
