[MWForum]re: a curious turtle / sharing strategies

There are about 70 members on this list at the moment.  
 
I have not heard about "Minds in Play" but I'm sure the members of this list would like to know about it.  Can anyone tell us about it and where it can be ordered?
 
By the way, an earlier posting from a couple of weeks ago, asking for suggestions on teaching MicroWorlds in a Montessori environment, received no replies.  I think most of us apparently are not Montessori teachers.  But I think that the general approaches to teaching MicroWorlds would be very appropriate in that environment, from what I understand.  I hope some list members will share with the list how you encourage some individual approaches to using MicroWorlds while also covering some of the basic skills.

Hello, out there!
 
I'm a 4th/5th grade teacher, new to this list. Does anyone know how many people use this list presently?
 
Has anyone read Minds In Play about creating computer games using MicroWorlds?
