Tadashi Yokikama presented his work with Etoys in first grade and beyond. There are some great examples of introducing Etoys and scaffolding in his approach. http://imamp.colum.edu/eceim/squeakfest07/blog/chicago2.image (Squeak image, right click and save as)

Barry and Patrick Kayton introduced us to an ambitious project in South Africa called Kusasa, a combination of content they are producing for children and their plans to use Etoys. Their presentation can be found here: http://imamp.colum.edu/eceim/squeakfest07/blog/KusasaSqueakFest070802.pdf

Alan Kay gave a background talk on OLPC. He issued a call for content to the Etoys community. Are we up to the challenge?

Madhur Shrestha came all the way from Nepal to present his work with Squeak at Seagate Institute of Technology, including a videoconference they held with Squeakers in Japan.

Randy Caton from Christopher Newport University showed some great physics simulations using Etoys. http://www.pcs.cnu.edu/~rcaton/squeak.html

Valerie Scarlata, Carol Ann Stowe, and Elspeth Stowe-Grant presented squeak gardents, their work from a kindergarten class this year. The squeak presentation can be found here: http://imamp.colum.edu/eceim/squeakfest07/blog/cccSqueakGardens.zip

Masashi Umezawa showed a new swiki (squeak wiki) called superswiki 2, and it is really super! He explained the issues with the old swiki and demonstrated the new features in the new swiki. All of the superswiki 2 files and Masashi’s presentation can be found here http://imamp.colum.edu/eceim/squeakfest07/blog/SuperSwiki2.zip

Scott Wallace from Viewpoints Research shows us some debugging techniques with simulations in Etoys. He demonstrated the finer points of creating variables and using a timer to control the life of a player / object.  Then we went through a common scenario when creating simulation, creating dulplicate players and / or sibling players, the differences between duplicates and siblings, and how to control variables and scripts belonging to dynamically generated duplicate and sibling players / objects.

Yoshiki Ohshima from Viewpoints Research introduces us to the OLPC, and he brought one to show everyone. Hegave a general overview of the Etoys contribution to OLPC and a feature list of modifications made to Etoys for the project. His presentation can be downloaded here:
