Dennis,
ReplyDeleteNow I understand your Udutu a little bit more. I think this video and the Udutu lesson work well together. I have a slight memory of learning about LOGO years ago. I can't remember if it was when I was a student in the 80's, or if it was while I worked on my bachelor's in the late 90's. I really like your "Battleship" type of game and understand how math coordinates are applied to the LOGO program. In answer to your question, "Where is pedagogy going?", I think each of us have different tools to use but it all comes back down to Bloom's Taxonomy. We must encourage memory, understanding, application, analysis, evaluation, and creation.
Dennis, I enjoyed your video on your student's work with MS Logo. I used Logo when Apple was still IIE with limited capabilities. Logo was one of the great teaching tools, giving students control of their environment. Very powerful.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we must find ways to engage and challenge students. Even though Logo is an old school approach (revived), and simple and yet it has the potential to engage and absorb students. Using this simple approach applies the mathematic skills of the x and y coordinates an integral part of geometric measurement. Mastering this concept using a Logo approach will tap the memory and understanding and reinforce higher level thinking skills.
Your students are lucky. :-)
