Papert: Logo - turtle

Posted by John Dalziel on Tuesday, December 22, 2009 , In : Interactive 

"LOGO, at least in the guise of turtle graphics, has a clear place within mathematics teaching as enshrined in the New Attainment Targets of the National Curriculum. More importantly perhaps the potential of the language to give learners more autonomy over their own learning is becoming increasingly clear" quotation from 1992

Remember LOGO, the computer language that many of you learnt at school? (...and some of us taught in School) well...

Papert is an online LOGO compiler....
