-
- The annual Working Group on Forth Education was held at the 1991 Rochester
- Forth Conference. As chairman of the group, I pointed out that apart from
- some activity resulting from the 1990 Working Group, notably on the part
- of Jack Brown of BCIT, there was very little carry over from one year to
- the next. So, I volunteered to start and administer a Forth Education List
- on Internet. I have now decided to publish an electronic newsletter--more
- or less regularly--and this is it!
-
- This issue is being sent to some of the people who attended the 1991 FEWG,
- namely, those who gave me their electronic addresses. You can subscribe to
- the list by sending an e-mail request to
-
- forth-edu-l-request@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca
-
- Contributions to the newsletter can be sent (for editing) to
-
- ns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca
-
- Submissions to the list can be sent to
-
- forth-edu-l@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca
-
- Topics for both types of submissions that have been suggested at the WG
- include
-
- * Forth textbooks
- * Educational Forth boards
- * Forth teaching resources
- * Teaching the ANSI Standard Version of Forth
- * How to increase programming productivity through education
- * Boot Prom educational materials
- * anything else impinging on education and Forth
