			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across the excellent <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fscratch.mit.edu%2F&amp;ei=UBq7R6-lBae8wQG34pXjCg&amp;usg=AFQjCNHnFzZ2HIb3CMUOdQMHEioPOKnkUA&amp;sig2=rMIFgwfjZjilvIDiQAPbfg">Scratch programming tool</a> via an <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topic/show?id=649749%3ATopic%3A104384&amp;x=1&amp;page=1">interesting discussion</a> on <a href="http://www.classroom20.com/">Classroom2.0</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m planning on investigating it a little more in the near future, there are a wealth of mathematical possibilities for it from algebra, logic, geometry, probability etc etc etc.  However I&#8217;ve been thinking of a quick way in to it for my pupils, and Simon Mills <a href="http://twowhizzy.blogspot.com/2008/02/mswlogo-creating-and-decorating.html">work</a> he has been <a href="http://twowhizzy.blogspot.com/2008/02/investigating-rectangle-with-logo.html">doing</a> with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_(programming_language)">Logo</a> got me thinking, why not use Scratch to emulate logo?  Below is a quick copy of <a href="http://twowhizzy.blogspot.com/2008/02/expanding-my-horizons-with-logo.html">the work Simon started</a> on Logo, but using Scratch.</p>
<p>More to come on this when I have the time!</p>
