After Before Comes...?, Judi Harris Mar 1988

After Before Comes...?, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

What came after HAL, the computer from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey'? IBM. (I comes after H, B comes after A, M comes after L.) Clever nomenclature, isn't it? It's also an interesting Logo exploration that can help to reinforce notions of alphabetic sequence and phonetic analysis.

Wifty Gifts, Judi Harris

Time For A Challenge, Judi Harris Mar 1987

Time For A Challenge, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

"Rich problems" make the best Logo projects. As your students (and you!) write Logo procedures that translate their patterns into computer activities, ideas for projects spring to mind. As you work on these new challenges, "idea reproduction" continues. Investigation into these broad areas of interdisciplinary, intrinsically fascinating inquiry reveal what Papert calls powerful ideas. The subject's inherent patterns provide the pliable mess of material; Logo's structure encourages "messing around" in search of patterns and structures.


Word Study Logo Style, Judi Harris Feb 1987

Word Study Logo Style, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

Syllabicalexicopology is the study of word meanings by systematic syllabication and syllableanalysis. The exploration of complex words with Logo can make vocabulary study more meaningful.


From A Different Angle, Judi Harris Jan 1987

From A Different Angle, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

We are all familiar with the facilitative effects of kinesthetic experiences of abstract concepts for learners. Encouraging children to "play turtle" as an integral part of the Logo graphics problem solving process is probably a well-established part of your "facilitator's repertoire" by now. Why not capitalize upon this symbiotic relationship between cognitive and physical activity.


Cooperative Means To Interdisciplinary Ends, Judi Harris Dec 1986

Cooperative Means To Interdisciplinary Ends, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

Many educators find Logo to be a natural facilitator of group cooperative problem solving activities. This article shifts focus from a Logo project idea to the cooperative development process that was its genesis.

Paper, Process, And Polyhedra: When The Product Isn't A Picture, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

Add folded paper "fortune cookies" to the paper airplane and the inflatable folded paper box, and you have the basis for disciplinary action -- or a fascinating investigation into the properties of the polyhedra, and the transformation of two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional shapes.

Logo Music: A Numerical Denomination, Judi Harris Sep 1986

Logo Music: A Numerical Denomination, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

Fractional relationships are difficult for students to understand. Perhaps this is because there are few non-contrived "real-life" situations that can be used as effective models for instruction of these somewhat abstruse concepts. Yet, there is a motivating, easily understandable, culturally relevant microworld which quite naturally utilizes fractional relationships and operations: Music!


Euler And The Turtle, Judi Harris Mar 1986

Euler And The Turtle, Judi Harris

School of Education Articles

If "growing up" means losing the joyful, experimentative, problem-solving flexibility that is innately childlike, then we Logo-ers must reserve a special corner of our personalities that will never "mature". Chances are you have already done that, and your love for Logo stems partly from the opportunity that it affords to exercise the "never-neverland" option. This article discusses classroom activities related to Logo.

Biology At The College Of William And Mary Before The War Between The States, Donald W. Davis

VIMS Articles

Like nearly all of the current subjects of instruction at the College of William and Mary, Biology naturally traces back into departments under other names. Meager as must have been the teaching during the early years in any of the fields specifically mentioned in the Charter granted in 1693 by the British sovereigns, certainly some matter within our :present field was contemplated in the listing of objects mentioned in the preamble of the Charter: " ... to the end ... that the youth may be piously educated in good letters and manners .. . to make, found and establish a …
