How I teach Python with open source tools

Anderson that was my segue into Python. I learned LOGO when I was in graduate school in the late 1980's and then taught it In our elementary school. A friend of mine introduced me to Python and then demonstrated the 'turtle' module and my connection with LOGO, Seymour Papert and helping students to have fun with Math was rekindled.

That's been one of the ways I've learned more about Python is taking other people's scripts and iterating with them.
