Logo is a simple programming language devised by Seymour Papert for educational purposes. Students can control the movement of a 'turtle' which draws lines on the screen. Students learn about lengths and angles while creating diagrams and patterns. The learning takes place as students experiment, get feedback and revise their actions in a non-judgmental environment. Students develop a much better understanding of angles being an amount of turning than they do from more traditional, static exercises.

Logo is a wonderful application to use when learning about the properties of shapes and angles. Using the repeat command to draw a triangle usually results in a significant and poignant learning moment as students grasp the difference between the internal and external angles.
You can find in the left panel above instructions and a series of challenges for the student who has not used Logo before. Click the blue buttons to move through the challenges. Students can use the snipping tool to capture pictures of their work which they can paste into their notes.
Please send Transum pictures of anything magnificent you produce with this application or describe your programming.

Using all the skills we covered in the previous few challenges, we are going to adapt a script to create our own logo using Python Turtle. First let's look at the following code: Challenge Your challenge consists of tweaking this code to create your own logo. You may want to use your initials, your full name. Alternatively you could create a logo for your form. Choose your own colours using a. Logo 32 free download. Development Tools downloads - Microsoft Windows Logo by Softronic Inc. And many more programs are available for instant and free download. Wait until you open up AE, this is a program that can be used to create amazing animations and graphics, but if you are not familiar with the tools and the commands it can be overwhelming. Here's a really good tutorial from the Adobe team on how to use After Effects to make basic animations of your logo; you might want to check it out as it. The editor's canvas dimensions are: 500 pixels x 500 pixels and the center of your graphic window / canvas is the initial turtle location 0,0: (read more about the cartesian coordinates section here) As you can see, the turtle is heading North by default.

— Harrysmuir Primary (@HarrysmuirPS) February 1, 2017Social work is a fast-growing field, composed of intelligent and emotionally strong professionals that represent the populations with the most need. It is a profession that historically produces agents of change who are not afraid to challenge antiquated policies, fight for social justice, and make the world a better place. Below are five of many reasons why social workers do what they do, and enact the change they want to see in the world.
1. Because everyone matters.
Social work is about assisting those who need it most. Everyone, including those from difficult circumstances, deserves to live a fulfilling life and to have someone on their side willing to fight for them. Social workers fill that role, making a difference on multiple levels. Lasting, significant change usually starts close to home, and requires collaboration between the individual and community level, a skill social workers develop through their education and field experience. On an individual level, efforts like the #YouMatter campaign show how social workers reach those in need.
2. Because the role of social worker is changing.
Social work is evolving to be more than what it's been in the past, with the overall focus shifting from fixing the problem to prevention and early intervention. Traditional practice approaches are being expanded to include new disciplines and professions. For example, business-minded social work students are changing and modernizing the way social workers apply their training. If you have an idea of how to apply your skills to fix some of our nation's social challenges in new and exciting ways, now is the perfect time to use an MSW to bring those ideas to social work.
3. Because social work is a growing field.
The number of jobs in social work grows at a rate of 16 percent per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More than ever before, organizations and communities are recognizing the need for social workers, and as communities grow, they require more highly trained social workers to support the population. Additionally, because of the changing role of social work, jobs are opening up in nontraditional sectors, like business and public policy, as well. Now, social workers are advancing their careers through higher education and advanced training.
4. Because someone who can't be heard needs a voice.
At-risk populations need the most help, but have the hardest time getting it. They need someone who can make their voice heard, and who advocates for them and effects change. Social workers have a unique ability to speak up in the public space on behalf of others and navigate systems in a way that benefits those in need. For example, two graduates of the MSW@USC program have started their own initiatives to empower at-risk youth through entrepreneurship in the music industry and to create a bridge program for high school foster youth to help them prepare for college.
5. Because it will challenge you in ways few other careers will.
No two cases are the same, which means social workers must constantly solve problems and apply their studies and experience in creative ways. Social workers also have a direct influence on someone else's life, which can be extremely rewarding, but also emotionally difficult, which is why social work requires a unique combination of intelligence and emotional strength.
Social work is a challenging, changing, high-growth profession that puts social workers in a position to make an actual difference in many people's lives. The lessons you gain from a Master of Social Work can be applied at many levels of society and in different fields, including community activism, business and public policy.
