I realize that I have many of the same interests today that I had at age ten. I still love to play the piano, play tennis and play with clay. I've been working at getting better, improving the strokes, the strategies, the fingering, the techniques all my life. I know I'll never reach perfection, but that really isn't the point of the pursuit. These hobbies of mine have endless potential and room for improvement, and most important, a process that I enjoy. I rise to the occasion of a good challenge - one in which I must learn something or improve a skill. It's important to set goals, and more important to revisit them as you move along in the process.

This is the link to the work I do with students and Logo. Logo is all about the process of learning. When engaged in Logo activities, kids are actively thinking, doing and working things out. Logo is a wonderful environment for kids to prove what they know. They help each other by sharing ideas, experiences and knowledge, and acknowledge each other's frustrations and joys.

I have been working with Logo at the Spence School in New York City since 1988. I started out as the sole Lower School computer teacher and was able to build the lower school computer program around Logo. Over the years I have worked with the teachers at Spence to weave Logo into the core curriculum and have facilitated many Logo Foundation workshops including annual Logo Summer Institutes since 1995.
