Hi Rebolers,
following the previous thread about problem solving teaching, I made
these discoveries that while not REBOL related at all may nevertheless
deserve some mention here until we write our own REBOL based teaching
material:
1- http://www.learner.org/resources/resource.html?uid=90&sj=SCI
2- http://www.learner.org/channel/workshops/science/
For Admittance Policies and associated Costs to all of these Courses and workshops,
see below (Free for all! Only Additional video material and credit recognition are billed)
3- http://www.learner.org/channel/chnnl_workshops.html
4- For a unification goal of ALL the educative resources, the gateway.org has been created.

Give it some try to their search engine with the keywords :
Logo ORed with Programming
Here is one of the results related to the general problem-solving strategy statement

* However I didn't find any entry about REBOL
--> Don't miss their Collections List too !!!
==========================================================
Another interesting link is : http://www.geminfo.org/Consortium/Members/00392.html
about the Indian Jiva institute (http://www.jiva.org/) and their
ICOT (Indian's Curriculum of Tomorrow) learning program. in a few words, this
concept can be summarized as :
ICOT (http://www.jiva.org/icot) is a new curriculum for the Jiva Public School
education (K-12) that includes an environmental and computer curriculum,
12 computer-based textbooks, three educational CD-ROMs and a
teacher training kit consisting of three textbooks, three workbooks and one CD-ROM.

Don't miss the foundation principles supporting their learning/teaching approach:

Also see their Jivaworld web site: http://www.jivaworld.com/ for getting more information
about their many branches :
JivaLearning System (Jls) that is consists of textbooks coupled with
ON-LINE DIGITAL RESOURCES. http://www.jivaworld.com/edulinks/index.asp

Even Teachers have not been left apart too. From managing the class to mastering IT,
all activities are taken into account:

http://www.jiva.org/Education/jets.asp
This Jiva institute has really evolved from a couple of years since there is now
a USA branch of JIVA. http://www.jiva.org/usa/aboutus.html
They even started a number of projects or cooperated with other organizations
to act on existing projects. Below is a link to the list of their current projects :

Among their partners is the second to none "Teacherswithoutborders" web site
that is gold mine of resources and link of free quality resources to help teachers
and students do their job at their best :

Now is time to fulfill our own REBOL based study material for helping more ppl learn
problem solving and REBOL ...
