Greetings!
The official Squeakfest website is now live and ready for you to
propose a presentation, workshop, or panel.
http://squeakfest.orgThe dates for Squeakfest USA in Los Angeles CA are August 10, 11, 12.
The dates for Squeakfest Brasil in Porto Alegre RS are July 23, 24,
25. Also keep in mind that many of us will be attending nearby WCCE
the following week (July 27 to 31).
The theme for this year's USA conference will be "Etoys in the
classroom." Our overall goal is to show how teachers are using Etoys
to teach their full curriculum. Whether language arts, math, science,
or more, we hope to showcase the many ways Etoys can help teachers
demonstrate abstract ideas easily. If you've got experience teaching
with Etoys, we'd love to hear about it, as would the attendees of the
conference, many of whom will be elementary teachers. We're also
very interested in non-classroom Etoys use, particularly as it relates
to OLPC pilots or homeschooling.
We'll be adding more information to the website as it becomes
available, but for now, the important thing is to get your
presentation information to us so we can begin to design the program
for our three days together. Please complete and submit the online
form no later than June 1st, 2009.
Please share this information with anyone you think would be
interested in either Squeakfest conference.
We hope to see you there!
Take care,
Tim
