well, i am interested in working with students on introductory CS topics; by the way, this will be useful to introduce also basic geometry topics; after that, the interest of the students will lead their learning, whose directions i cannot predict by now ... where will you publish your tutorial/manual ? thank you in advance > >> of course, since my students are very young and with no previous >> programming experience, i'd like to start with TA >> >> let me know also if anyone is doing something similar, to prevent double work >> >> thank you again >>> On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 10:33, Christian Mascher >>> <christian.masc...@gmx.de> wrote: >>>> roberto wrote: >>>>> >>>>> hello, i found this very famous book >>>>> "Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics >>>>> (Artificial Intelligence)" >>>>> by Harold Abelson and Andrea diSessa >>>>> and i was wondering if anyone of the turtle experts has ever rewritten >>>>> in python the logo examples in the book; >>>>> >>>> Nobody has answered, so probably not.
