Encouraging Young Children's Thinking Skills with Logo

Nicola J. Yelland
Childhood Education, Spring 1995, p. 152-155

Logo, a computer programming language, can be used effectively in the classroom to promote critical thinking and problem-solving strategies. These activities can be either teacher facilitated or initiated by the child and can promote collaborative teamwork while enabling children to develop high-level reasoning and logic skills. When using Logo, children tend to have a high level of motivation and concentration. Problem solving can range from simple to complex depending upon the learner's desire.
