[IAEP] Ideas

[Steve Thomas]

Kellie,

I created a word sort program in Etoys (which is already on the OLPC) here
is a blog entry on the project Etoys Minute - Word
Sorts<http://mrstevesscience.blogspot.com/2010/10/etoys-minute-word-sorts.html>
the actual project is posted on the Squeakland site
here<http://www.squeakland.org/showcase/project.jsp?id=10354> you
will need Etoys to run which you can download
here<http://www.squeakland.org/download/>

And here is video of the project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht4-NiB_sfQ

I tried to create the project so it can be easily modified with minimal
knowledge of Etoys, but it can also make a nice entry point for teachers and
kids to create their own Etoys scripts and projects. Any
questions/suggestions/requests for improvements send me an email or send one
to the squeakland mailing list (need to register first
here<http://squeakland.org/discuss/squeakland/>to send emails)
