 | Screen Turtle 3 |
From Toplogica, Screen Turtle offers students the chance to enjoy 'turtling' in a 'safe', friendly environment, without getting bogged down in the language. If it doesn't understand what's meant, it will try to guess. It understands command variations: RIGHT, R.T and CLOCKWISE all mean the same thing. It 'ticks' commands it likes, and doesn't mind missing spaces. Procedures can be built, edited and saved. Shapes can be FILLed with colour, or painted with the mouse. Screens and word lists can be printed out. There's on- screen HELP and an easy to use DRIBBLE feature to help keep track of students' work.
You can 'drag and drop' screens and procedures. Numbers can be switched off to scale distances (and angles) so that younger children needn't worry about big numbers.

Music Box
Music Box comes in four self-contained parts:
- Sound Box is a place in which to try out different sounds. Children can listen to up to 7 different instruments at 11 different pitches and use the on-screen tape-deck to record their tunes. By saving a small composition, they can change any instrument (35 are available altogether) to see how that effects the overall tune.
- Chord Box gives children the chance to experiment with chords by changing the position of notes on vertical 'keyboards'. Chord sequences can be recorded and replayed as accompaniments for other classroom instruments.
- Beat Box is a simple drum machine for setting up percussion patterns on a time line. Patterns can then be edited to develop satisfying rhythms, even 'raps' - a great way to link music with poetry!
- Tune Box brings all these ideas together. Here 'notes' are placed on a stave-like grid. This activity requires a more structured approach. Pre- prepared 'wrong' tunes can be loaded in to be 'put right'. Children can investigate links between Maths and Music, eg 'What does a symmetrical pattern sound like?' They can load in 'rounds' and add two or three part harmonies.
