Lough, Tom – Computing Teacher, 1982
Describes a short computer program written in Logo programing language designed to provide students with new experiences in the study of vectors as they apply to classical physics. Suggestions for introductions, preparation, follow-up activities, and program examples are included. (EJS)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics, Computer Programs, Instructional Design
Hartman, Ken – Computing Teacher, 1982
Suggestions offered to improve the quality of instructional computing software created by computer programming instructors cover analysis of the problem, program design, the development of each module, writing and debugging the program, and final testing and development. (EJS)

Clements, Douglas H. – Computing Teacher, 1984
Describes a series of programs written in Logo that have been used successfully to support young children's programing efforts. These programs remove the mechanical obstacles of typing, spelling, and estimating distances; remove the demands of abstract planning and ordering instruction; and provide a set of programing procedures. (MBR)
