This morning on LinkedIn I noticed a submit by Gary Stager (embedded under) by which he linked to a assortment of Logo assets that he is compiled on The Daily Papert.
Reading Gary’s submit and looking out via the assets jogged my memory of two issues. First, as I wrote in response to Gary, once I was in elementary college I had an incredible instructor who launched us to Logo. 34 years later I nonetheless have fond recollections of these days that he stayed after college in order that my buddy and I might tinker all we needed (or till I needed to go house to start out my paper route). The image on the high of this submit is the Google Street View picture of the skin of the elementary college classroom by which I first used Logo.
The different factor that Gary’s submit jogged my memory of is the disheartening feeling I get once I point out Logo in the present day to individuals who have job titles like “tech coach” and so they don’t know what I’m speaking about. Worse nonetheless is after they have these titles and inform me that they do not do any type of programming in any respect.
If you do not know what Logo is, head to Gary’s record of assets to start out studying about it. If you do know what Logo is, check out Gary’s record of assets and see if there’s something new to you or if there’s something that reminded of by studying via the record. On that word, I’m going to thumb via a few of the notes I took once I learn Mindstorms for the primary time.
