Mackey, Brendan – Technological Horizons in Education, 1987
Experiences in introducing computing into schools in Wexford, Ireland, are described. What went wrong is discussed in terms of lack of clearly defined objectives, teacher training, and relevance. Directions for future work and courseware trends are then discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Educational Change, Evaluation
Reinecke, Robert E. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1983
Explains how a microcomputer and a word processor can be utilized to keep teachers' records and presents a brief BASIC word processing program called SCRIPSIT to show how grades can be calculated from those records. Possible program modifications and how to construct the SCRIPSIT file are discussed. (MBR)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Grading, Microcomputers
Low, Lafe – InCider, 1986
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)

Ott, Jack P. – Educational Computer Magazine, 1982
Lists and explains a computer program written in BASIC which calculates teacher salaries using a salary index. Modification of this payroll program is suggested as a student project in schools which teach computer programing. (JJD)

Grunberg, Jorge – Technological Horizons in Education, 1987
Described is the Alfa Project in Uruguay, designed to integrate computer education into secondary schools through teacher-training. Both teacher-users and teacher-authors were considered. Course objectives, curriculum content, and teaching guidelines are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Literacy, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Course Descriptions

Bloom, Lynette M.; And Others – Mathematics in School, 1986
An intuitive approach to exponential functions is described. Microcomputers are used to aid discovery of derivatives. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Discovery Learning, Functions (Mathematics), Graphs

Brown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

White, James E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
Differences in computer languages are noted. Symbol-based languages offer some distinct advantages over number-based languages, both in the form and the content of the student's interaction with the computer. Some of these advantages are explored and their applications to teaching mathematics described. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Higher Education
Grevstad, Eric – InCider, 1986
Creative uses of Apple II microcomputers in classrooms are described. Projects involved topics ranging across the curriculum, with many involving writing and most using AppleWorks software. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction

Goldenberg, E. Paul – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1988
Computer software with graphic representations of functions can teach algebraic concepts, or can blur or obscure concepts of great importance. Making good use and bad use of visual imagery are each discussed. Then a general theory of interpretation of graphs is proposed, and a list of examples is presented. (MNS)

Bangasser, Vi – Computing Teacher, 1983
Describes nine-week computer literacy course offered to seventh graders of the Freeport, Illinois, School District, which teaches students how to operate a computer, input a program, process the program, and identify output. Sample activities involving predicting output, and modifying and writing a program are appended. (EJS)
