Book Description

If you're just getting started with EasyLogo programming, this is the book you want - whether you're a computer science teacher or a first-time learner. EasyLogo is a simplified Logo language which is becoming a popular educational programming language used by many first-time learners in classrooms and homes around the world.

Teaching EasyLogo covers all the features of EasyLogo, and shows how kids can learn fundamental computer programming concepts as they create their very own drawings and simple animations. The learning method is focused on discovering the features step by step and solving problems with the current available amount of features on the students hands at that time. Gradually students through fun programming challenges will create basic shapes, and later will be able to build more complex shapes using repeat loops and procedures. In the end, they will use different methods to create simple animations.

This book is approximately 18000 words long, contains 46 figures and is about 121 kindle pages. The page count was measured using the smallest font on a Kindle Paperwhite 3G.
