Me parece un herramiente súper útil para que los niños generen sus propios proyectos

Sou programador de computador desde 1981 e dentre todas as linguagens que já usei, Smalltalk é a única em que você realmente pode por em prática, com facilidade, a sua imaginação. Isto porque as regras de sintaxe são simples.

Because it's a great tool to teach pupils modeling and concepts without having to struggle with technical details first.

Excelente herramienta de enseñanza y aprendizaje

Etoys is an excellent choice for a portable "soft" computer for young learners. It is compact enough to be carried along on a USB portable medium, extensible and isolates children from the rapid changes (and obsolescence) associated with physical hardware. It gets young learners to focus on the essential details and not get distracted by the bells and whistles.

Porque es muy potente para formular propuestas pedagógicas donde los alumnos son los constructores, abriendo las posibilidades de un pensamiento que promueva el desarrollo de los dos hemisferios cerebrales: se promueve la ruta gestáltica, intuitiva pero también la ruta secuencial analítica.

Ainda estou a conhecer o Etoys. Como gosto de ajudar os meus alunos a produzir os seus materiais com programas simples e de utilização livre vou estudar o Etoys.

Etoys is the best teaching method for small children and I would like to contribute about the bulgarian translation :)

Creo que es una muy poderosa herramienta al tiempo que sencilla de utilizar. Espero poder aprender a usarla mucho más.

PORQUE ME FASCINA TODAS LAS POSIBILIDADES QUE NOS DA.

because it has a blob catalogue

looking for a programming language which might get you up and running quickly...manuals on the usual languages re Java/C etc put me to sleep after a few pages...anybody using this language to interface to real world...robots/data loggers/sensors?

I enjoy using eToys because I can create games and things to help my logic and other skills to develop.

We need an online lecture series and podcast on learning squeak. Something like high school or community college level course instruction would make adoption easier for those of us who aren't in college to learn to program.

It's a great way to introduce students to programming

I see Etoys both as an example of how to teach powerful ideas (in Science) better than any 'official' school system I know of and as a first step toward a scripting system for the new user interfaces for computers, mobile phones and the world wide web based on Morphic. That is why we called our startup company Morphle, to widen the use of these concepts.

Parafraseando el nombre de una antigua publicación de Apple, Squeak y eToys son "Wheels for the mind". Que es el mejor uso que se puede dar a una máquina como un ordenador.

Etoys rock!

Es una herramienta poderosa

The brilliance of age of eToys is that you get instant visual feedback and then you can take that to any level limited only it seems by your imagination. My kids use it at different levels appropriate to their abilities at that moment which is mostly just drawing and changing the variable values or sounds on the simple scripts I've written. But we'll be using it more as they get older. Well done. Thanks!
