BlackCat Logo

Ages: 5-11
OS: Windows

 

An ideal resource for developing pupils' knowledge and understanding of 'Logo' computer language. This program is flexible enough to be used for basic turtle graphics as well as more complex procedures and programming.

The four predefined levels have a progressively richer feature set to make it suitable for all abilities. At the early levels, a clear and easy-to-use control pad allows children to move the turtle around the screen as they experiment with distance and angle.

A wide range of project ideas are included that show teachers how they can use BlackCat Logo across many areas of the curriculum. The program directly supports the QCA ICT Units 2D, ‘Routes: controlling a floor turtle’ and 4E, ‘Modelling effects on screen.

With BlackCat Logo pupils can:

• Choose from a selection of colourful turtles
• Over 100 projects included suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities
• Built-in protractor and ruler features
• Customisable control pad
• Can be used with the Valiant floor turtle.
