Introduction

NOTE: This page is the support page for the Self Paced Introduction to Turtle Programming in AppLab. Click on the link to access the course.

This Code.org unit should be entirely self-paced. This support page offers supplemental walkthroughs to provided additional help with some of the lessons.

Sections of this page are being built as needed. If you don't see something for a particular lesson yet, that's because no one has yet requested help for this lesson. Walkthroughs are made when requested and when practical.

The Chapter and/or Lesson names below match what you see in Code.org to make it easier to stay on track. Lessons with shaded backgrounds represent assessments.
