From: FRIENDLY%YORKVM1.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU 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.
