Day One

With the brief introduction to squeak I can find several possible uses in the middle school curriculum. I currently use several computer simulations in my classes and this program will enable students the possibility of creating their own simulations to display concepts. The creation of the squeak programs will require students to think about the scientific concepts we are studying and construct a real understanding of their own. During the week i would like to gather information on the following aspects of using this program:
First How is the best way to help students who have screwed up, quickly getting them back on track.
Second What would be the best methods of integrating squeak seamlessly into my current delivery of content.
Finally How could I take student use of the program to the next level for advanced students.
