This document is part of a set of resources to support the marginalized caregivers of children with disabilities with inclusive education, which also includes guides for caregivers, teachers and schools, a workbook containing tools to support the activities, and a template for a directory of associations and organizations to be adapted for…

This book brings together a collection of work from around the world in order to consider effective STEM, robotics, mobile apps education from a range of perspectives. It presents valuable perspectives--both practical and theoretical--that enrich the current STEM, robotics, mobile apps education agenda. As such, the book makes a substantial…

The idea of storytelling goes beyond the borders of language, culture, or traditional education, and has historically been a tie that bonds families, communities, and nations. Digital storytelling offers opportunities for authentic academic and non-academic literacy learning across a multitude of genres. It is easily accessible to most members of…

This book provides a holistic overview of what leads to success in foreign language learning at an early age and deepens our understanding of early foreign language learning. The studies use an array of methodological approaches to research learners aged between three and ten, as well as their parents and teachers, in instructional, minimal-input…

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)

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 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)

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…

This article: describes how to prevent pins on game paddles from breaking; suggests using needlepoint books for ideas to design computer graphics; lists a BASIC program to create a Christmas tree, with extension activities; suggests a LOGO Christmas activity; and describes a book on the development of microcomputers. (JN)

Described are four hour-long sessions of children working with the definition and use of a procedure for triangles in Logo programming. The conclusion is that turtle geometry is not a trivial activity. (MNS)

The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)
