Etoys Challenge

Carlos Rabassa — 2012-05-15T19:36:58

While reading this interesting article,  I wondered if someone might be interested in using Etoys to explain the concepts explained by Dr. Chow in this interview.

Steve,
Also, there is a way to detach the Halo handles and they still function but I can't remember exactly and didn't rediscover it in a hurried 5 minutes of keystroke combo clicks. I bet someone knows and will tell.

It is one of those examples that prove that every-thing-is-an-object.
On that topic, my young students are realizing that they can deconstruct and modify things like the All Scripts button; a gateway moment that leads to other experiments.

Hi Kathleen and Richo,
Many thanks for your help. I solved this problem with the hint of Richo.
I made a 1 pixel paint and use it as source. After that I copy and repaint
this copy. It's fine!
Thanks again

Hi Luis,

Hi,

If I understood your problem correctly, I think you can create an empty drawing and in the button script put something like this:

[ Sketch | copy | do menu item | repaint ]

So now, when you click the button you'll be repainting a copy of the original sketch and you can use it many times.

Cheers,
Richo

How to get a button to start painting

Luis Valente — 2012-05-15T14:30:03

Dear friends,
I've a student developping a project to teach some basic math concepts. In
her proposal, it's needed a button to start drwaing things using the etoys
paintbox. Because it will be needed several times I can't recommend the "do
menu item" "repaint".
Anny suggestiont to help solve this problem will be appreciated.

Luis

karl ramberg — 2012-05-06T16:42:12

Hi

Squeakland is proud to announce the release of Etoys 5, which you can
now download from our website. Special thanks our developers,
particularly Ricardo Moran, Bert Freudenberg, Scott Wallace (and my
self) for their dedicated efforts in the last weeks.

http://squeakland.org/download/

In the Etoys 5 you'll find new features, like single-stepping a
script, attached watchers, a graph paper tool or the integration of
ScratchConnect. You'll find a list of the new features, changes and
bug fixes along with a list of contributors in our release notes. For
the new features, we added a section with more detailed explanations
on how to use it at the end of the notes.

How to Train Your Robot

Steve Thomas — 2012-05-04T05:28:22

So I tried using Dr. Techniko's How To Train Your
Robot<http://drtechniko.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/how-to-train-your-robot/>
with about ten kids 10-16 years old.

I have done similar things in the past with kids based on seeing Seymour
Papert videos where he has children pretending to be the "turtle" and the
other children give the commands.

Besides being a lot of fun, I really think the kids learned a lot and got a
feeling of success.

Here is a list of some of the things kids came up with:


   1. Created Looping techniques
      1. While walk
      2. Repeat 4 times: walk 2ft
   2. Came up with the idea of using coordinates to program the Robot (ex:
   goto 1,0 - an actual good use of goto :)
   3. Measured the whole path, drew models of the path with measurements
   and planned out everything on paper before writing the program
   4. Came up with various sensors (ex: sense Obstacle)
      1. Special thanks to those who improved the sensors and had me stop
      BEFORE I hit the wall!!!
   5. Used the id

better based on StackVM, I will be happy to build a DrGeo activity for
XO1.75 with the latest DrGeo development.

Hi Ariel,

I think this would be solved by packaging a 4.x Squeak VM for Fedora. You could try compiling the latest tar ball from http://squeakvm.org/unix/ ...

SQUEAK EN ARM FEDORA 14

Ariel Calzada — 2012-04-25T11:56:27

Hola Lista!

Estoy intentando correr squeak para XO 1.75 ( Fedora 14 ), tengo problemas
en cuanto a que tengo una imagen ( drgeo.image )
la cual al parecer funciona con una version de interpretador específica
(6504) y la que viene para entorno es 6502. La verdad
no conozco mucho de SQUEAK y por eso quisiera que alguno pudiera darme
luces en el tema.
