Squeak
Squeak is an open source license,
highly-portable Smalltalk-80 implementation whose virtual machine
is written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to debug, analyze,
and change. The Squeak programming system comes with some delightful
and powerful educational applets. If you are a student, parent,
or teacher, please jump over to the SqueakLand.org
website, look around, and perhaps download some great educational
projects.
As of March/04 there were no
elementary or middle schools officially involved with this type
of project. It is ideal for a teacher wanting to be trained so
that s/he can then have an after-hours club. Since finantial
expenditures are involved (after-school stipend) the Principal
and the Campus Technology Team need to be involved. Contact Alan for more information.
