    B. J. Allen-Conn and Kim Rose, Powerful Ideas in the Classroom: Using Squeak to Enhance Math and Science Learning, Viewpoints Research Institute, Inc. (2003). This reference is written with the elementary school teacher in mind and is an excellent primer for introducing the power of Squeak to young students. Although the authors worked with fifth graders, any K-12 teacher would benefit by refering to this reference to get started. The book can be purchased at the Squeakland web site.
