One of the very widespread "educational" computer programs in the UK was LOGO, 
which came with the BBC Micro and even had a real, robotic turtle that you could 
plug into the computer and guide around instead of using the "turtle" cursor on 
the screen.

Of course, we all used it as what it seemed to be, which was a fun program for 
drawing stuff.  But actually LOGO is a dialect of Lisp, and in retrospect I wish 
I'd learned more about it ...
