Pasahow, Edward J. – Technical Education News, 1981
Presents three approaches to teaching the use of a microprocessor: (1) a "generic" device on paper; (2) a "conglomeration" device, surveying a number of real products; and (3) the "how" course which covers a small number of actual but related microprocessors. (CT)

Turkle, Sherry; Papert, Seymour – Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society, 1990
Recent technological developments in interfaces, programing philosophy, and artificial intelligence may invite the participation of women programers, who find a concrete, intuitive, and informal style of programing more congenial than the hierarchical, rule-driven style heretofore pervasive in computer culture. (DM)

Mitchell, Rodney P. – School Business Affairs, 1986
Supplying data from mainframe computers to microcomputers is tedious because IBM mainframe computers use Extended Binary-Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) to represent data and microcomputers use an American National Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) code set. (MLF)

Edwards, Dan – NASSP Bulletin, 1985
Some computer education goals, such as computer-assisted instruction, are very expensive and difficult to meet. Programing, computer literacy, and word processing are less expensive computer education areas, and programs are easier to implement. (PGD)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science Education, Cost Effectiveness, Curriculum Development
Brady, Holly; Levine, Melinda – Classroom Computer Learning, 1985
Judah Schwartz, co-director of the newly National Institute of Education-funded Educational Technology Center (which will investigate ways various technologies can have positive effects on K-12 mathematics, science, and computer science), offers his views on various topics and issues related to computer science education.

Pantiel, Mindy; Peterson, Becky – Principal, 1985
If teachers are to use computers in the classroom or train students to use computers, they must first be trained themselves. This training should provide knowledge of educational computer applications, computer terms and operations, courseware evaluation techniques, and elementary programing skills. An ongoing staff development program should also…
