Join Peter Neubauer for this KansasFest 2011 presentation on the history and applications of the LOGO programming language.

The post LOGO: History and Programming first appeared on KansasFest.

The LOGO programming language, best known for “turtle graphics”, was popular on the Apple II, especially in classrooms. LOGO is more than a child’s game. It’s a sophisticated programming language and a serious educational tool for teaching mathematics backed by decades of research on learning theory. Join Peter Neubauer at KansasFest 2011 as he discusses the history of LOGO and for a tutorial introduction to the language.
