Believe it or not, I'm using Logo to introduce 7th grade students to
programming. Logo works well because the students get instant feedback
in response to their commands. Once they become familiar with the basics
of Logo, I get them to write short programs in a text editor.

Whatever I'm doing seems to be working. Some of the students are even
using Logo at home.
