Abstract

Squeak is a free open-source programming environment that runs on 12 platforms and can be used to construct active learning environments. Squeak can be programmed by experts or by novices using graphical programming tiles. Everything in the Squeak world is an object. Each object has properties and can send messages to other objects. The objects are like actors on a stage. Each object can be imbued with actions that create interactive experiences for learners. In this paper we present interactive web activities created for the NASA Center for Distance Learning.
