4. Computer Science Logo Style Volume 2: Advanced Techniques by Brian Harvey
This series is for people who are interested in computer programming because it’s fun. The three volumes use the Logo programming language as the vehicle for an exploration of computer science from the perspective of symbolic computation and artificial intelligence.
Volume 2 includes a new tutorial chapter about macros, an exclusive capability of Berkeley Logo, and two new projects.
5. Computer Science Logo Style Volume 3: Beyond Programming by Brian Harvey
This series is for people who are interested in computer programming because it’s fun. The three volumes use the Logo programming language as the vehicle for an exploration of computer science from the perspective of symbolic computation and artificial intelligence.
The reader learns that computer science includes not just programming computers, but also more formal ways to think about computing, such as automata theory and discrete mathematics.
6. Logo Philosophy and Implementation by Seymour Papert, Clotilde Fonseca, Geraldine Kozberg and Michael Tempel, Sergei Soprunov and Elena Yakovleva, Horacio C. Reggini, Jeff Richardson, Maria Elizabeth B. Almeida, David Cavallo
This is a book of stories each of which describes a large scale Logo implementation in a different country.
A good starting point is to ponder what the several projects described in the chapters have in common. What makes them all Logo projects?
Although the book is published by a company that has a commercial interest in Logo, it nevertheless reports as many examples of difficulties in the implementation of Logo as examples of uncomplicated successes.
Chapters examine:
- Introduction: What is Logo? And Who Needs It?
- The Computer in Costa Rica: A New Door to Educational and Social Opportunities.
- The Saint Paul Logo Project: An American Experience.
- The Russian School System and the Logo Approach: Two Methods Worlds Apart.
- A Logo Postcard from Argentina.
- Logo in Australia: A Vision of Their Own.
- The Constructionist Approach: The Integration of Computers in Brazilian Public Schools.
- Project Lighthouse in Thailand: Guiding Pathways to Powerful Learning.
7. Logo for Kids: An Introduction by Bob DuCharme
This book is kind of like one of those Lego, Erector Set or K’nex kits. The book gives you pieces of the Logo programming language, just like those kits give you blocks or other building pieces, and it shows you how to put them together into several different projects.
After you’ve built those projects, you’ll have a better idea of what the different pieces can do.
Then the real fun starts: it’s time to make up your own creation.
