Squeaking with students

We just finished our first session introducing Squeak to students and teachers. We had lots of elementary school aged kids and a few teachers brave enough to give Squeak a try. The cool thing is we were learning on the XO’s or one laptop per child laptops. I thought it was nice to see a room full of the colorful, durable, and inexpensive wonders. It was interesting to see how different it is to teach younger kids to use Squeak than middle school kids. I don’t think I was cut out to teach elementary school. Lots of action and excitement in the room and yet the kids seemed to make lots of gains in a short time with help from the squeak experts.
