> I hope some of you will try it out and suggest improvements,
Wendy, I briefly tried your program this morning and have been thinking
about it all day.
And I just tried it again. Works great!
The more I think about and use it the better I like it. This novel approach
challenges students to type in correct angles and lengths to cause the
turtle to follow the path. I even multiplied 10 x pi, etc. And wrote a
longer series of commands and it all worked as expected.
This kind of exercise can *not* be done with a textbook. It can only be
done online, CD, etc. Guess this is what is called "thinking out of the
box." Using the new medium in new ways. Trying to crawl out of the old
textbook rut without getting carried away into too glitzy and too easy.
Can't wait for someone to come up with a brand new cyberway of explaining
different kinds of recursion. Dale
