I have just signed onto the logo-l list. Here's a little about me and my 
interests in Logo.
I am a parent of a third grader and a sixth grader in public school in 
western Massachusetts. We have a wonderful computer lab and program in 
the junior high and are building one in the high school. EAch of the four 
elementary schools has a lab with 10 computers but there is not a 
computer/tech teacher full or part time in any of the schools - therefore 
each class is dependent on the interest and ability of the teacher from 
year to year supplemented by parent volunteers - of which I am one of a 
handful. Our lab has PCs with Logowriter (Novell 2.2), Writing and 
Publishing and Linkway (we are getting Superlinkway soon we hope). There 
is no computer curriculum in the school now - it is going to be written 
next year (we hope).
I am not a trained teacher but love fooling around on the computers and 
being in the classroom. I have been teaching Logo, by the seat of my 
pants, to fifth graders for two years and third graders also this year. 
Another parent and I are trying to organize our support materials and put 
together some kind of guidelines to make it easier for us and other 
teachers and to deal with classes with many levels of ability. Some of 
the upper grade kids take Logo in summer school also. We have activity 
cards for Apple (they are mostly useful). We are thinking of trying to 
put together an activity box a la SRA with 4-5 levels with 4-6 activities 
keyed to each level.
What do you think? Has this been done? Help help help!!!
