Hi Bert,

That's terrific! Very exciting news. I'd love to hear more details about what is happening, and more about this "new culture".

Thanks for sending this along!

17. Squeak/Etoys: Marta Voelcker reports that the children at the

Luciana de Abreu school in Porto Alegre, Brazil are making great progress with Etoys. "The 11-year olds are using it very frequently, 12-to-14-year olds also increasing it, and first graders (age 7) are starting to use it. They use squeak in the classroom and after school they meet in the garden to talk about and share things made with squeak, it is becoming a culture!" Squeak has been very popular in Ethiopia as well.
