Gredler, Margaret Bell – Educational Technology, 1986
Presents a classification system of four microcomputer simulation types developed to evaluate their instructional processes: structured questions and graphics, variable-assignment exercises, diagnostic simulations, and group-interactive simulations. How this taxonomy contributes to three tasks associated with classroom use of software is…

Seidman, Steven A. – Educational Technology, 1986
Describes a study investigating extent to which 11 media were utilized by teachers in general, and at elementary, middle, and high school levels in Fort Worth, Texas, public schools. Results indicate nonprint media is underutilized; the simplest forms are chosen for use; and more high school teachers utilize complex technologies. (MBR)

Schiffman, Shirl S. – Educational Technology, 1986
This first of two articles presents eight examples of what software infusion (SI) looks like in actual practice in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms and learning laboratories. An analysis of SI characteristics demonstrated in the examples is presented to bring the definition of SI into focus. (MBR)
