I've just introduced some 9th graders to Squeak: msg#00173lang.smalltalk.squeak.beginners
Hello. This is my first post to the beginners list. I've been a perpetual beginner since I first found out about Squeak over ten years ago ( can it really be that long ? at least somewhere at the beginning of ver. 1.x ) . Anyway, I'm not a programmer, I'm a musician and an explorer, and currently, a substitute teacher - teaching 9th graders (gifted ones at that) computer skills. Today I introduced them to Squeak ! It went really well. First I talked about smalltalk, had them type in the " Transcript show: 'Hello World'. " program in a workspace, and I'm sure that bored them plenty. But I did not miss a beat. I next introduced them to the morphs - the bouncing atoms and the blobs , etc.. and they were HOOKED ! 80 Kids now know about Squeak. Now what ? What should I do with Squeak and my 9th graders that will thrill them further ? Ideas ? Thanks !
