This volume offers a comprehensive, up-to-date, empirical and methodological view over the new scenarios and environments for language teaching and learning recently emerged (e.g. blended learning, e-learning, ubiquitous learning, social learning, autonomous learning or lifelong learning), and also over some of the new approaches to language…

To help female elementary students overcome computer anxiety (similar to math anxiety) and thereby promote equal use of computers by both sexes, principals should enhance girls' self-concepts concerning computers, provide computer literacy training, and expand girls' career goals. (Author/RW)

Because it was financially impossible to put a microcomputer center at each of nine Chapter I-funded elementary schools in the Modesto (California) City Schools, a remodeled school bus was converted into a mobile computing center. Objectives of the "Compubus" program and evaluation of the first year are discussed. (JN)

Ideas for computer use are presented. A challenge problem, sources of information, and interesting facts are included. (MNS)

Outlines four dual art and computer-art lessons, presenting lesson objectives, activities, and suggested instructional strategies. The lessons focus on the usefulness of shared images, how moving an object affects its shape, creating the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface, and the relationship of parts to the whole. (JN)

Information on grants for computers, several recommended books, two Logo programs, and some quotations are included. (MNS)

The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)

Provides an annotated bibliography of 25 citations focusing on topics for teachers using computers in the elementary classroom and for researchers gathering background material for articles, grant proposals, and presentations. Topics include computer literacy, use of computers, turtle graphics (LOGO), research studies on computers, position…

Uses of Apple II microcomputers with special-education students are described. Many such students can overcome handicaps with the computers. Use of word processing, the role of motivation, and individual attention are stressed. (MNS)

A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)

The kind of learning experience provided by the LOGO programing language, its efficiency as a learning tool within the school curriculum, and the role of the teacher in the LOGO environment are each discussed. (MNS)

The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)

The implementation of a computer education program in a Hawaiian school is described. The use of the LOGO programing language is central to the program, and teachers' comments on student behaviors and reactions are included. (MNS)

Inexpensive spelling computers can give children entertaining practice, but students still need teachers who look for patterns in a child's spelling errors and teach accordingly. (Author)

Intended for teachers, this digest shows that the computer can offer many efficient tools for expression, student control of writing, and instruction beyond the grammar and spelling drills most commonly associated with computers. The digest discusses the goals of the language arts curriculum, the role of the computer in the language arts…
