Description: Introduces LOGO, a computer language designed by mathematician and philosopher Seymour Papert as a language used solely for learning purposes. Explains that the "Turtle" is both a computer-screen graphic shaped like an arrowhead and a robot connected to the computer which moves precisely as the "Turtle" on the screen does. Discusses the uses and potential of LOGO and shows it being used by children (including those with severe handicaps) in various parts of the world, demonstrating how it can be adapted to different cultures and languages.
