SooJin Jun of the Korea University presented her reasons why Squeak is an excellent way of introducing programming in the K-12 curriculum. Benefits of Squeak include its cost-effectiveness (It's Open-Source... Free!), readily adopted by students, and fun! SooJin is actively involved in teacher technology training allowing teachers in training to use Squeak and subsequently their students. She has used Squeak in both a University Creativity Class as well as in the Korean Public Schools. Students in her work plan their Squeak eToys prior to creation using planning sheets. Teachers she has worked with report a high rate of satisfaction using Squeak and continue to use it with their students.
