More sophisticated students could use it to demonstrate science concepts (imagine asking a kid to program an environment with real gravity) and complete virtual projects. All the while, the students are learning a sophisticated but approachable programming language and engaging their own creative minds." - Bert - _______________________________________________ squeakland mailing list [email protected] http://lists.squeakland.org/mailman/listinfo/squeakland
