Parkworld is a multipurposed microcomputer program which was designed and developed to meet the educational demand for creative, user-controlled software. Parkworld is predicated on Piaget's developmental theory and utilizes a microworld/discovery learning format. The software is designed for prekindergarten to fifth grade students and may be used to teach and test story line development, reading, sorting/classification, fundamental concepts, spelling, keyboarding, divergent/convergent thinking, and LOGO programming. Programming procedures are described so that Parkworld may be duplicated or altered. Parkworld is written in LOGO for the Apple lle and is touted as a new type of software.
