papert: logo in your browser

(Picture from Norland research website)

papert: logo in your browser is a site dedicated to showing the classic LOGO software in a browser. Originally developed by Seymour Papert, it’s aptly called just papert. You can read more about it in the excellent, but perhaps sort of aging, books Turtle Geometry, by Abelson and diSessa, and also, of course, in Mindstorms, by Seymour Papert himself. I have also had some fun trying the LOGO equivalent for TI84, namely the Texas Instruments TI Robot from Norland Research. Nowadays, it seems that LEGO mindstorms takes up the legacy of robotic programming for learning.

Christmas wishes…

Just found out what I want for Christmas! I have seen many great reviews, blogposts and opinions about this one. 1008 pages, but it seems the price and content is worth it!
