Off topic (but less so here than anywhere else, AFAIK):

Tim Cook argued that every child should be taught a programming language in school, and he argued that Swift

• is open source,
• is used and useful for Apple developers.
• is very easy to learn,
• creates very fast code, and therefore
• Swift programming language should be taught to all children.

In furtherance of that objective, Apple announced, and demonstrated, “Swift Playground” for the iPad. On reflection, it reminds me of nothing so much as LOGO with its turtle control commands. Except of course that LOGO on an Apple II c was laughably crude in comparison. LOGO allowed a learner to command the cursor, called (but not illustrated as) the “turtle,” to move and turn.

Swift Playground will allow the learner to command turns and motion by a fuzzy critter. Or a bunch of icons, which fall according to the laws of physics to the bottom of the display. With Swift commands the icons on the display follow laws of physics in a world under tilt control of the user manipulating the iPad. IOW, under “Swift Playground,” the learner has access to the gyro and the accelerometer in the iPad.

Swift Playground will be in the Developer’s release of iOS10, andwill be free in the App Store this fall.

Of possible interest to metmom for education . . . Ping.
