Carney, Cathy Chmielowski – Computing Teacher, 1986
Describes a project in which middle school teachers turned over keyboarding instruction to a computer assisted instruction (CAI) program which enabled them to focus their efforts during the CAI on teaching higher-level thinking skills. The thinking skills developed include student analysis of learning, goal setting, self-motivation, and peer…
