The Squeak distribution that is aimed squarely at education is 
distributed at Squeakland.org, and they are trying to keep their 
tutorials up to date with the image.

However, some of the tutorials until very recently had been broken by 
later changes to the Squeakland plugin image.

The difficulty of keeping documentation, tutorials, etc. up to date is 
not unique to Squeak.

This is a role that a number of people in the Squeak community could 
help with. Even if you're new to Squeak, you can help:

* try out existing documentation and point out its problems
* you can tell the community what documentation you think needs to 
exist
* you can update the Swiki to make sure that documentation can be 
found
