SuperLogo
The Program That Makes Maths Fun
The SUPERLOGO Windows Programming for Kids software is a superb revolution
in mathematical lessons in schools. A friendly child-centred resource
for Keystage 2 children ages 8 to 13, parents and teachers. It is a brand
new application for programming based on the world-wide popular Logo language.
DO YOU HAVE ANY 'MATHS PHOBIA' KIDS IN CLASS?
- SUPERLOGO SAVES THE DAY
SUPERLOGO takes Logo users into an environment, which they have never
seen. Longman Logotron has always led the field in this versatile mathematical
modelling software, but now Logo becomes the programming language for
children! Using SUPERLOGO they can generate their own stand-alone Windows
applications with ease.
Research into the development of the program indicated that what children
really wanted from a program was a vehicle to create 'real' programs.
The Superlogo team of designers aimed to develop a software package which
not only let children do real programming, but constructed it using multi
media, animation, colour and to make it a completely stand alone product.
SUPERLOGO is such a step forward more than any other logo product, it
will be the first to take the logo language straight into the millennium
and will be the first Logotron logo product to do this ever!
SUPERLOGO is incredibly versatile enabling all types of users to gain
benefits not available in other programs. The type of questions that teachers
and children regularly asked about Logo products were the solutions that
SUPERLOGO now provides!
These are some of the 'Learning with SuperLogo Classroom Experiences':
Q: Teachers: "What we require is a powerful Logo that's easy
for all children to be able to use and can make the understanding of Logo
clearer"
Yes, finally a Logo product has made maths fun and children can see what
Logo is really about! Teachers will find that by using SUPERLOGO themselves
they will be able to create simple language tasks in both the classroom,
and for issuing homework. They can also exchange results and conclusions
with colleagues. The product is so 'child friendly' that each section
has clear, concise and chosen commands enabling users to click on the
command that suits their ability and quickness to learn.
Q: CHILDREN: "Can SUPERLOGO do REAL programming, create games,
and images to pass on to my friends?"
Children will find that the unique SUPERDISC part of SUPERLOGO converts
the program into the stand alone windows application - just what they
asked for! Copy work onto a disc and pass it on to friends. MEGAPAINT
gives users the design and editing features of the varied multimedia and
animation images to choose from.
Q: PARENTS: "Can SUPERLOGO help teach Children whilst they program?"
Yes, SUPERLOGO has been especially designed to help children every step
of the way and offers users options for any of the commands. It is the
ideal software for making maths enjoyable, developing creativity and expanding
the computing and mathematical horizons of any child.
