The kind of thinking required to solve the tasks in the app is important for everyone to learn, for every field of study." -- Wired.com / Geek Dad "Are you a computer geek that loves programming or are you a classroom teacher instructing on such skills as angles, measurement and two dimensional geometry? If you answered yes to either these, then you have come to the right educational app" -- IEAR.org "I spent my formative tech-years trundling a robo-turtle around the floor while learning the Logo programming language. Now there's an app for that, although in this case the turtle is virtual" -- The Guardian _______________________________________________ *** Move the Turtle teaches children (ages 5+) the basics of programming (yes, we do mean coding!) *** Challenges and rewards keep children (with parents' assistance) & teenagers (on their own) engaged! -----------------------------------   Do you remember the Logo programming language?
