Imagine Logo is a cross-curricular tool that brings multimedia authoring to the Logo environment. Suitable for learners of all ages and abilities, Imagine Logo promotes the creative use of ICT.
Use it in the SuperLogo mode to control on-screen turtles, create procedures and build activities. This ideal introduction to computing ensures students can understand exactly what they have done, as it provides them with instant visual feedback.
To help develop more advanced skills students can use Imagine Logo to create multiple page projects, draw directly onto pages, and animate on-screen turtles. Using Imagine Logo's multimedia capabilities students can create high quality project presentations and publish them on the web or the school Intranet.
Imagine Logo comes with the Logomotion Animation Editor, a powerful tool to help create a wide range of static or animated objects. It can be used in the D&T class to explore the first principles of animation. Students can go on to extend their skills by using Logo to undertake complex tasks like object teleporting, network projects and game programming.
