Presenter's Bio:
Seth Orbach is Director of Academic Technology at St. Bernard's School in New York City. He has a B.A. in Architecture from Yale College and a M.A. in Mathematics Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. He first began teaching Squeak to fifth graders at Trevor Day School several years ago after hearing Alan Kay speak at the NYSAIS Conference on Information Technology in November of 2001.
Presentation Abstract:
"E-Toys is a version of Squeak designed for use with school-aged children. I will present some of the introductory lessons that I use with students, some of the more advanced challenges, and examples of student work from my 3 years of teaching with this tool. I will also discuss and demonstrate the pedagogy used in my constructivist classrooms."
