"Logo" is a computer programing language created for use with young children. Information is presented on a sample Logo session, different versions of Logo and its manufacturers, features, and prices, and the present and potential use of Logo in classrooms. (CJ)

Discusses several computer languages (Atari Pilot and different versions of LOGO) supporting the turtle graphics mode. Also discusses educational applications and use of LOGO by the handicapped. (JN)

Discusses various aspects, features, and uses of the Logo programing language. A comparison (in chart format) of several Logo languages is also included, providing comments on the language as well as producer, current price, number of sprites and turtles, computer needed, and whether debugging aids and list operations are included. (JN)

Describes activities designed to teach students about embedded recursion. Topics cover providing intuitions about embedded recursions, predicting embedded recursions, seeing patterns and processes, presenting graphic designs containing embedded copies of themselves, and exploring graphics, numerical, and word examples. Parts I and II are in…

Reviews Apple-II versions of "CyberLogo Turtle" and "Delta Drawing." Focuses on special features, educational value, design quality, written materials, and ease of use, pointing out strengths and weaknesses. Both programs are given high rankings for criteria reviewed. (JN)

Relates experiences of an elementary school reading teacher and a group of fifth- and sixth-grade students in exploring the computer programing language Logo. Use of a tree-like figure as an illustration for the concept of recursion is described. Programing commands and graphic illustrations are included. (EJS)

Provides Logo activities designed for adults and children to use together. Although activities are designed for Terrapin/Krell Logo, modifications are provided for use with Apple Logo or TI Logo (Texas Instruments). "Bugs" are introduced in one activity to demonstrate how they can lead to unexpected results. (JN)

Describes Ovation, an integrated software system with a common command environment of 26 English words which provides access to all of the system's capabilities and handles spreadsheet analysis, information management, word processing, graphics, and communications in the same workspace. Capabilities of Ovation's applications and features…

Discusses what can be done with a LOGO turtle robot, how it is different from doing LOGO with the computer-screen turtle, and the educational value of the device. Sample programs are provided, including one in which the robot turtle can be commanded to react to meeting an obstacle. (JN)

Presents computer-oriented teaching suggestions suitable for early grades. They include creating houses and stained glass ornaments using Logo, recording class activities with a database management program, making mazes with graphics programs, making drawings with a KoalaPad, and using a program to introduce computers to non-English speaking…

Presents programming ideas using LOGO, activity for converting flowchart into a computer program, and a Pascal program for generating music using paddles. Includes the article "Helping Computers Adapt to Kids" by Philip Nothnagle; a program for estimating length of lines is included. (JN)

The Logo programing language is described. Why it is useful is discussed, followed by an illustrative activity using Logo. (MNS)

Describes subroutines in a group of assembly-level programs (program listings included) which provide the interface between a Basic, Pascal/Z, or JRT Pascal program and the BASE2/IDS-560 graphics printer. The interface can be easily modified for other printers and other languages. (JN)

Points out that the secret of successful Logo teaching appears to lie in knowing when to intervene and when not to. Sample programs and instructional sessions are included to illustrate when to intervene without intercepting student discovery. (JN)

Describes the use of programs written in BASIC and graphics facilities of microcomputers to make students aware of the assumptions of statistical models in linear regression and the design of experiments. Two references are cited. (CHC)
