Abstract :
In these days, the number of educators who use Squeak in their education is increasing. However, most of them do not have enough experience in teaching with Squeak and are looking for how to educate children with it. We introduce a new system, which helps us to generate new specialized morph kits. This system helps educators to create and share good methods of Squeak education by the specialized kits. We held a workshop using a specialized kit, "animation Morph ", and found that the specialized kit was effective in squeak education. We also compare existing Squeak systems and consider what is important for the new system.
