The Logo Summer Institutes are intensive workshops with an emphasis on constructionist, project-based learning. Personally meaningful projects provide the context for learning about Logo and computers as well as about the subject matter involved in the project. The Institutes also serve as models of the teaching and learning environments that you might set up in your own home or school. Most of each workshop day is devoted to project development and sharing. There is also time to dialog about issues related to education and technology, and to make practical plans for using what you learn in your classroom, home school, community center, or museum. The individualized approach of a Logo Summer Institute accommodates experienced Logo users as well as novices, teachers of all ages and different subjects, parents and young people. We see a diversity of skill and experience as an asset since it better enables participants to share and learn from each other. The number of participants in each Institute is limited to a maximum of 20 and there are two or three facilitators to insure that everyone gets the personal attention they need. Computers are locally networked and connected full-time to the Internet. There is at least one machine per participant. You may bring your own laptop - PC or Mac - if you prefer. |
