ToonTalk beta testing at Råbyskolan in Sweden

Råbyskolan is a an elementary school with an ethnic mixture of kids from all over the world. The school board has set up a budget for testing ToonTalk as means of letting the kids develop skills in for example math and physics. The testing will be supervised and supported by the Stockholm Institute of Education, Birgitta Lindahl. Teacher trainees from the Insitute will assist the teachers in Råbyskolan as part of their training. The activities of the project will be coordinated by Lennart Mogren Click here to send Lennart email.

A few groups of kids have started learning basic ToonTalk programming and the two teachers, Barbro Mogren and Elsie-Marie Zetterlund, are learning too. Elsie-Marie's sixteen year old son Tobias will be their mentor. They all met Ken Kahn in April at Råbyskolan. (Click here to see a photo from that visit.) The testing period will end in mid-December.

We'd like to share ToonTalk files with other beta testers around the globe!
