hw-3-02

I meant to follow up in more detail, but have not. I hope you had a chance to do the above, although since it was not posted in the "hw" section I suppose you have an excuse. If you have not managed to put some thought into it yet, and even if you have, please come prepared tomorrow with the following, which need not be handed in, but you should have thought about it in enough detail to have some notes...

  • the proper boundaries of squeak/etoys... what people should see and be able to use, and what we recommend as off-limits.
  • a precedence graph showing prerequisites where they you believe they belong between the different features and programming constructs. Put strong prerequisites in bold and suggested prerequisites in dashed.

Tomorrow in class we will do the following:
  1. cover the board with a topic, skill, and squeak feature listing
  2. break into groups to hash out possible orders of coverage, models of what tutorial materials, examples, explorations, should be like.
  3. reconvene for group reports, discussion, and consensus
  4. break into small working groups with concrete assignments to begin an initial collection of lessons that should come right after the basic tutorials, with the hope of having a handful of first-pass materials created by next Wednesday.
