Materials for teaching Systems Dynamics to K-12 students+

Tom Johnson
Friends:

I've note that some of our number are working with students of various
ages.  I ran across these sites recently that have -- if you drill down a
bit -- an archive of helpful teaching materials.

See http://www.clexchange.org/  and
http://sysdyn.clexchange.org/road-maps/rm-toc.html

If I were interested in education issues, I might very well be
interested in Math Circles ( http://www.themathcircle.org/ ) since I
seem to be reading "Out of the Labyrinth: Setting Mathematics Free" by
Robert and Ellen Kaplan.   Hmmm, swarming math circles, yes.

The brief paper at
<http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/1300000/1292534/p93-huch.pdf?key1=1292534&key2=2505155911&coll=GUIDE&dl=&CFID=15151515&CFTOKEN=6184618>
is a PDF linked from <http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1292534>

The results of this paper include a very effective introductory
programming experience based on an actor-model language (agent-based)
rather than the traditional sequential or functional models.
