Squeak's effect on Open School students

[subbukk]

Hi,

It is now more than five years since Squeak was tried out at the Open School.
Those students would now be in higher secondary. I wonder what they would
have to say about the influence of Squeak on their education? Did they
continue with Squeak?

Curious,
Subbu

Hi, Subbu -

I am not sure if BJ Conn from the Open School continues to read this  
mailing list, so I have forwarded your inquiry (here).

Perhaps she'll send us all some comments...I believe she has stayed  
in touch with several of these students.

regards,
Kim

Many of my students come back to visit me in the classroom.  Some make it especially on the day that they know we will be working with Squeak.  They come to help the current students in my class as they work through the projects they are working on.  Some of the children continue to use Squeak and have shared projects they have created with their current teachers.  The kids feel empowered, especially in the area of math.
