ESUG-Teachers Day

Kickoff Event

We are pleased to invite you to the first Teachers Day of the  
ESUG-European Conference of Smalltalk Technology.

http://www.esug.org/conferences/twelfthsmalltalkjointevent2004/esug- 
teachersday/

The meeting will be held place on Friday, September the 10th 2004 in  
Köthen (Anhalt).

Goal

We want to bring together German speaking teachers and active Smalltalk  
developers to show the possibilities of object-oriented modelling and  
simulation in educational environments.

  Especially we want to
	• 	 introduce different usage-scenarios of Smalltalk environments in  
classrooms, which could reach from simulations in physics and  
mathematics to building multimedia content and animations in the fine  
arts.
	• 	 collect ideas for tutorials and start curriculae
	• 	 plan actions to introduce Smalltalk and especially  
Squeak-Distribution to German speaking schools.
	• 	 plan further co-operations and start, if possible, concrete  
classroom activities.

The following topics will be presented:
	• 	Caro and Bot: A Smalltalk-Environment for Children from 11, to  
learn programming	• 	Experience report about the use of Swikis and  
Smalltalk at the French School of Bern
	• 	Short Intro of Squeak and the German Squeak Association Squeak e.V.
	• 	Etoys: A drag'n drop Script- and simulation environment
	• 	Report of the anual School-Squeaker-Meeting in Chicago
	• 	StarSqueak / Kedama: StarLogo in Squeak, an environment to simulate  
emergent behavior
	• 	Smallland: Experience report about the use of free Software in  
Spanish Schools: Squeak is installed there on 80000 computers, 50  
teachers create curriculae

We are happy about more experience reports and presentations. If you  
want to participate or to show, what you do with Smalltalk, please  
register by sending a mail to gaelli at iam.unibe.ch with
	• 	 your name and email-address
