To Matt, hello how ae you? Thankyou so much for your message. It was great to
hear from you. You are quite right when you say that children are only taught
to use computers rather than taught to program. What do you suggest that we
do differently to teach programming rather than using computers. Last year I
completed a course in teaching Logo for Mathematics and I think that this
would teach children to program in a classroom situation. The children were
using Logo and giving instructions. They really enjoyed it and I think that
it taught programming rather than using the computer. What do you think about
this? I look forward to hearing from you....Caroline.
