A proven and friendly post-Bigtrak, 'turtling' and Logo environment for today's classrooms
Many 'Logo' and turtle-graphics packs can be a bit of a mystery, so we designed ScreenTurtle 2 to address this. The program is quick to learn, yet still offers all the features needed in busy primary and secondary classrooms.
Young 'programmers' are not expected to learn a whole new language, because ordinary English words or abbreviations are used, e.g. FORWARD, FD and AHEAD all do the same. They can UNDO commands, PAINT with the mouse, get HELP and even keep notes. Printing is as easy as typing PRINT SCREEN or PRINT WORDS (procedures), which can of course be SAVEd.
Exploring shape and space whilst being introduced to real-time and 'saved' programming, pupils are encouraged to think about the way shapes are made using distances and angles, and to solve spatial problems. Older students can try REPEAT loops and variables, plus unique maths-style BEARING and VECTOR commands.
Much imitated, ScreenTurtle 2 offers reliable group and network support and includes worksheets, ‘tricky turtle challenges’ and a classroom support booklet.
And if children have been experimenting with BIGTRAK (see 'General teaching Links', right), this should be the next step in their learning!

"ScreenTurtle has all the graphic commands and most of the structures of a full Logo but it doesn't seem to mind that I can't be bothered to learn a whole vocabulary and syntax before I use it, and it will allow a child or teacher to be creative with spelling and form without refusing to do what they want." - Educational Computing & Technology
"The boys did make a circle as soon as you answered my 'how do we do that?' e-mail, and the excitement was exhilerating. Caused everyone to come and look. Such a simple program but so effective. Thanks again." Marg Lester, ICT Teacher, Bonsall Primary
