Educator Resources for Turtle Academy
In Turtle Academy, students are introduced to the popular programming language Logo. Developed as an educational tool in the 1960s, Logo is a graphic-based computer language that allows students to move a triangular “turtle” to create line graphics in predictable ways. As they successfully complete basic levels, students will encounter more and more complex Logo tasks and commands. Turtle Academy requires a fair amount of instructional reading, so we recommend that educators preview each level to ensure the accompanying informational texts are appropriate for your students.
In this lesson plan which is adaptable for grades 3-8, students use BrainPOP resources (including an online game) to explore the popular computer programming language Logo.
This lesson plan is aligned to Common Core State Standards. See more »
