Re: [seul-edu] programming courses for 6 th grades

[Les Richardson <richl@mail.tfsd.sk.ca>]

I would suggest a more graphics oriented language like Logo, and deal only
with very limited control structures, perhaps focussing more on the Turtle
Graphics aspect, and less of the list processing capabilities. We don't
want to turn this into an intelligence test.....


I would suggest that this would be very difficult for many 6th graders, and
might be more useful at a Gr. 8 -10 Level.
