  2. Discussion Points • Is the essay outdated? Please justify your answer. • What, if anything, stands out for you in this essay?

  3. Discussion Points • After reading Papert’s essay, do you agree or disagree that “Logo is a programming language plus a philosophy of education “ and why do you agree/disagree? What do you think is the “Logo spirit”?

  4. Discussion Points • I would also like to know if any of you have used LOGO since we worked with MicroWorlds during EDT 530 (for those who took that class).

  5. Discussion Points • If you have used LOGO with students, what has your experience been? If you have not used LOGO, do you foresee a time that you might use it?

  6. Discussion Points • Why do you think Logo isn’t used more in Maine Schools, or is it being used and not talked about?
