Learning activity details
This project makes use of the turtle within touch develop to help children program. It shows them how to make loops, procedures and art work. They're able to learn the basics and they understand how to break down large problems. This project not only encourages collaboration through start and finish activities, but they also share their ideas and get other students to try out some of the programming. They make art work and they must print out the code and get others to replicate it. It helps students understand how things are done in a sequential order.
