Moore, Mary Jo – Hands On!, 1984
Describes the activities of nine-year-old students during a six-week session designed to introduce them to computers and to the LOGO programming languages. Sample programs written by the students are included. Indicates that these students needed very little instruction or even assistance. (JN)

Bearden, Donna; Muller, Jim – InCider, 1983
In addition to turtle graphics, the Logo programing language has list and text processing capabilities that open up opportunities for word games, language programs, word processing, and other applications. Provided are examples of these applications using both Apple and MIT Logo versions. Includes sample interactive programs. (JN)

Russell, Susan Jo – Classroom Computer Learning, 1983
Discusses a project using Logo with special needs children--primarily six to 10 year olds who are physically handicapped and/or learning disabled. Indicates that microcomputers should provide motivation and a means of communication, reveal hidden strengths, and empower children to be in control of their own learning. (JN)

Williams, Ron – Journal of Chemical Education, 1986
Compares Apple Macintosh and IBM PC microcomputers in terms of their usefulness in the laboratory. No attempt is made to equalize the two computer systems since they represent opposite ends of the computer spectrum. Indicates that the IBM PC is the most useful general-purpose personal computer for laboratory applications. (JN)

Gentner, Donald R.; And Others – 1979
The Coach system, a computer simulation of a human tutor, was constructed with the goal of obtaining a better understanding about how a tutor interprets the student's behavior, diagnoses difficulties and gives advice to a student learning a simple computer programming language. Coach is based on a hierarchy of active schemas representing the…
