Hi Tony Thanks for doing this. Another really interesting "Logo-like" language with several important ideas in it was "Boxer" -- originally done by two of the original Logo folks (Andy di Sessa and Hal Abelson).
I liked it because it had an integrated graphical mapping of its visual media to Logo data structures to provide a way for children to think about media-as-program. Etoys does this in a different way -- not nearly as simple (too bad) but with pretty rich media objects (good). Boxer would be a good addition to the XO -- though I think it would need to be reimplemented. Cheers, Alan ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Mon, February 1, 2010 8:14:53 PM Subject: Re: [IAEP] LOGO advocacy Bernie I have added Logo material at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Presentations#Presentations_on_Logo_Like_Languages Tony > [cc iaep] > > Dear Walter, > > the education technology lead at Paraguay Educa, Pacita, is looking for > some good papers about the benefits of LOGO and similar technologies on > child development and possible applications to traditional curriculum. > > This will be used for a presentation introducing Turtle Art to teachers > in Caacupe. > > Some of your presentations entirely done within Turtle Art would also be > terrific material to show, especially the old one on portfolios. > > If anyone has other material of interest, please send it this way or, > even better, link it in the wiki where we collect all presentations: > > http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Marketing_Team/Presentations > > -- > // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ > \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) > [email protected] > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep > > _____________________________________________________ > This mail has been virus scanned by Australia On Line > see http://www.australiaonline.net.au/mailscanning _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
