Oberlin, Lynn – 1986
This paper shows how questions and answers written on a word processor can be used with a short BASIC program to present computer material which is self-correcting and self-scoring. This procedure provides a way for teachers who have little or no knowledge of computers to prepare instructional programs for students. The process for creating the…

Barclay, William L. – 1985
Graphing is a common and powerful symbol system for representing concrete data. Yet research has shown that students often have graphical misconceptions about how graphs are related to the concrete event. Currently, the Technical Education Research Center (TERC) is developing microcomputer-based laboratories (MBL) science units that use probes to…

Garland, Virginia E. – 1985
Arguing that the most effective types of managerial computer software for teacher use are word processing, database management, and electronic spreadsheet packages, this paper uses Apple Writer, PFS File, and VisiCalc as examples of such software and suggests ways in which they can be used by classroom teachers. Applications of Apple Writer that…
