Logo Training

On-line Course Professor Kathryn Shafer of Ball State University has developed a 4-week 12-lesson on-line Logo course that uses Logo to explore the basics of shape and measurement. The course is targeted for students in grades 6-10 and is a great resource for math teachers of that age group. It also works well for homeschooling and other independent study environments and provides a fun challenge for any adult learners.

Each lesson thoroughly explores a geometry and measurement concept, bringing it alive through interactive Logo programming. Lessons are sequential and each introduces new math vocabulary and Logo commands, building on what has already been learned. Completing the course builds a strong foundation in both Logo and geometry and allows students to create fun and colorful math-based projects.

The course may be taken for Continuing Education credit from Ball State University School of Distance Education. The course may be taken in either a self-paced or four-week format. Contact Prof. Shafer for more information.

On-site Training Terrapin can incorporate Logo training in conjunction with school or district licensing or or as a supplement or refresher course at schools where Terrapin Logo or other Terrapin products are already in use. Training programs can be customized to focus on different age groups, subject areas, ability levels, and educational objectives. Contact Terrapin for information about training for your teachers. In addition to providing customized training programs for Terrapin Logo, Terrapin also contracts with Logo educators around the country to provide presentations and training to schools in their areas.
