Screen Turtle 2 is an affordable way to introduce
children to computer programming through the Logo programming
language. Now in its second PC edition, ScreenTurtle offers a proven
way for children to explore shape and space in a quick-to-learn
environment.
Children are not expected to learn a whole new language as ordinary English words and abbreviations are used, e.g. FORWARD, FD and AHEAD all do the same. They can UNDO commands, PAINT with the mouse, get HELP and even keep notes. Printing is as easy as typing PRINT SCREEN or PRINT WORDS (procedures), which can of course be
SAVEd. Add to that the ability to UNDO actions and build procedures,
with immediate visual feedback, and you truly have an encouraging space
for the exploration of shape and number, and for problem-solving.
Paint with the mouse, and place text directly into the work area.
Extra commands enable pupils to explore CO-ORDINATEs, VECTORs and BEARINGS.

programming, but the basics of geometry. |
