I saw a presentation about it at this year's IALLT conference in Atlanta and
didn't like it at all.  That said, almost anything that is head-on
grammar-driven I find hard to swallow, so I'm strongly biased from the outset. 
It did not seem to fit in with any pedagogical or methodological methods I've
come across in my brief 15 years of teaching at the college level.  I would not
recommend it for my program, but, like I said, its approach is unapalttable for
me from the get-go.  Someone who's more grammar-centered might find it a nice
addition or side-bar to their curriculum.

Hello Everybody,

Have you used the Peanut Butter Sticks software program in your classes? I heard
about this program in a conference. My chair is asking me if it is appropriate
for college classes. If you do, could you please send me some activities?

Thank You,
Iris Myers
