LOGO-L> Logo and HyperStudio
Ste...@ucscarb.ac.uk
Hello there...
I work in a School of Education where our students (trainee teachers) use
both Logo and the multimedia tool HyperStudio in their ICT element...
The thing is that HyperStudio uses an extended scripting called HyperLogo -
which the manual says is related to Logo.
Has anyone here - or do you know of someone - who has seen HyperLogo and can
vouch for it's pedigree as a hybid Logo language???
- We thought that if they are indeed closely related then there is a case
for using HyperStudio as a example of a novel application of the use of
Logo. This would make a pleasant change from the usual Logo projects for our
students.
And comments would be appreciated.

Mike Westerfield (mik...@aol.com), who developed the HyperLogo scripting
language for HyperStudio, based it on the old AppleLOGO if I'm not
mistaken. It can be considered an extended LOGO because many of the
statements use callbacks to HyperStudio so scripts can communicate with
and influence objects in your HyperStudio stack. But basically, HyperLogo
is a true version of LOGO that includes turtle graphics, 3D turtle
graphics, etc.

There is also a public message board with a HyperLogo topic at the
HyperStudio web site (www.hyperstudio.com). In addition, I have a
collection of HyperLogo sample lessons at my HyperStudio Journal web site
(www.hsj.com/blacksmith.html).
You might also check out my "Exploring HyperLogo" tutorial that comes with
HyperStudio (Mac and Windows). PDF versions of "Exploring HyperLogo" and
Mike's "HyperLogo Language Reference" are available at the HSJ web site
(www.hsj.com/hsj.html). You'll also find a small library of mostly Mac
HyperStudio stacks at the web site that illustrate HyperLogo scripting.

HyperStudio version is very complicated for introductory programming. I
much prefer MicroWorlds and use it exclusively to teach programming skills
to 4th and 5th graders. (I used it with first graders when I was
responsible for their computer lab instruction.)
