Squeak Beginner

Constructionist
Where is the best place to go to start learning about Squeak? I am interested about it because my school doesn't use it and I was told that it is a good platform to use in the class room. Are their any examples that I could use to demonstrate the uses of squeak to the other teachers. I have been trying to learn squeak from the tutorials I found at Squeak.org but some things don't quite work.

Hello

www.squeakland.org/ may be of more use to you then www.squeak.org as it's more about squeak in education.
What tutorials are you using? I'm working my way throw this one: http://squeak.preeminent.org/tut2007/html/index.html and am finding it very usful.
Also the book: Squeak: Learn Programming with Robots, may be of use to you.

Hope this help, Darren

That tutorial is good, but it is not for real beginners, it assumes
quite a bit of knowledge of squeak already. This tutorial gives a
more basic introduction to squeak (skip the croquet chapters if
you're not interested in that):
