Has anyone ever read through the books on Brian Harvey's website
(http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~bh/) and tried to convert the samples to
Microworlds LOGO?  I would love to read them and do the exercises.  When I
studied computer science in college, I learned a more traditional approach
like what it appears he is discussing in his books and I never did any
graphics.  I fear I have fallen into the trap in teaching a more graphics
approach because the students love it.  They are so used to all the graphics
in gaming and that is what they want to do.  So I have appeased that with
teaching virtually every concept in my advanced class through having them
develop games.  I would love though towards the end of the year to move them
to a less graphical and more traditional programming but haven't found a way
to do that.  I thought these books may help me.   Maybe you would have some
ideas on that as well.

 

Blessings
