Harness, Smith, and Snir Present "Curriculum Applications of Squeak" at Squeakfest 07.

Kathleen Harness, Kathleen Smith, and Avigail Snir of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign presented a variety of uses for Squeak in the k-5 Curriculum. Using a variety of projects from the areas of mathematics, science, and language arts, the presenters showed how Squeak can effectively model a variety of concepts effectively allowing students to experiment in a way that allows discovery learning. Their website includes about 40 projects that act as tutorials for using Squeak, as well as a number of Squeak projects for students.
