I am the North American field editor for a new Logo newsletter,
ILX, edited by Dennis Harper at UCSB and published by Tom Lough
of the National Logo Exchange, PO Box 5341, Charlottesville, VA
22905.

I write a bi-monthly column on Logo-like educational computing,
and am interested in hearing from people who are doing interesting
things which might be of interest to the international Logo
community. Please reply directly to FRIENDLY@YORKVM1.BITNET.
Applications of Logo to particular subject areas, advanced ideas,
list processing, metaphors for teaching Logo etc are of particular
interest.

I am also interested in developing a network forum for Logo workers,
perhaps going thru AI-ED or perhaps separate from it, and would
appreciate hearing from anyone of other nets, Bboards or conferences
in this area.

My background:
  I am a cognitive psychologist doing work on knowledge structure
and memory organization, with interests toward the applied side,
and am developing empirical techniques for cognitive mapping --
graphic portrayal of an individual's knowledge for some domain.

I have written a book on Advanced Logo with applications in
AI, computational linguistics, mathematics, physics, etc. oriented
toward courses in Computer Applications in Psychology and as an
advanced Logo book in a Faculty of Education. It is due to appear
sometime in 86.
