I recently realized that it's been several years since I last taught a class in which I did not need to cover - at least briefly - the development of movable type by Gutenberg.

But have you ever used Gutenberg: The Musical! as a teaching aid?

No, but my life is now better for knowing it exists.

Does that include the use of moveable type in the Song and Koryo dynasties? ;)

Movable Type was written by a guy called Gutenberg? I didn't know that, the usual credit is just the company "Six Apart".
