Describes graphical solutions of equations for stirred-tank reactors in series; data management software for producing and searching customized mass spectral libraries; least squares and chromatography programs; a low-cost data acquisition system for Apple microcomputers; nuclear magnetic resonance interpretation with graphics; chemical bonding…

Procedures for displaying computer-generated text and graphics to a large audience are inexpensive when a Fresnel-mirror projector is used. Although small liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) can be easily projected, large LCDs require some modification (which is described). Other devices with LCD displays (oscilloscopes, televisions, and pulse-height…

Intended to enable educators to make intelligent decisions when purchasing hardware and software, this article presents basic information on computer hardware, effective software, and necessary peripherals needed to achieve educational objectives instructors have set. (MBR)

Computers can be programmed to produce increasingly complex line drawings. Through programming activities students can learn the geometric principles involved. (SD)

Discusses ZGRASS, a programing language designed for graphics production, especially for applications in education and training, and provides guidelines for people looking into a new computer graphics system. (CHC)

Elements of computer use in teaching are explored. They include equipment expense; availability of quality software; development of interactive instruction; use of graphics, color, flashing, and sound; learner response; and feedback. (CT)

Presented is an example of this use of spreadsheet software. The basic case is considered with an extension and suggestions for other applications. Emphasized is the use of this method at the introductory level. (CW)

Describes ways computers are used in the art education program of one elementary school. Illustrates how computers become centers where students learn to use the computer as a tool with which to experiment and make choices. The results of these experiments are then applied to their art work. (KO)

A module is presented to facilitate integrating computers and art into the gifted/talented curriculum. Based on the Enrichment Triad model, specific activities are suggested, such as creating interest development centers, increasing awareness of computer imagery in daily life, exploring art software programs, and performing in-depth investigation…

Describes how to draw lines in centimeter units on a computer monitor with the Logo program. Presents four activities involving drawing geometric shapes. Provides a program to move a turtle slowly. (YP)

Discusses in detail the intricate and fascinating series of problems surrounding the production, distribution, and extended use of lessons in marine sciences that utilize remotely sensed images as the underlying medium of instruction. Focuses on computer-based learning activities because remotely sensed images are derived from the interpretation…

Provides a lesson that focuses on three-dimensional graphing, contours, and topographical maps using computer spreadsheets. (ASK)

Paper introduces a new communication medium with which young children create and explore powerful computing tools, including free-hand and programmed graphics, animation, and music synthesis. (Author)

Computer graphic procedures can be adapted at low cost in order to teach the basics of layout and good design in high school and college journalism classes. Both journalism educators and students can benefit from computer equipment used as a vehicle for graphics experimentation. In addition to creating experimental newspaper and magazine page…
