[Costello, Rob R]

Would love any resources you could send Marcel - thanks 

 

Is NXT a dialect of Logo?

And thanks to Bill for the Logo book resource - sounds promising

At Strathmore Secondary College we developed a Math, Science and
Technology unit using Lego NXT stuff. In 2006 I received funding through
Innovations and Excellence to purchase some kits. Kids really enjoyed
it. The NXT programming is very intuitive and kids largely teach
themselves. At present we are working with VSSEC and the autonomous
systems dept from the University of Sydney to further develop the units.
I can send you some material, still in draft form, if you wish.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Marcel

Has anyone gone down this path; 

in general? 

Or for maths in particular?
