Presents a program in Level II BASIC for a TRS-80 computer that simulates a Turing machine and discusses the nature of the device. The program is run interactively and is designed to be used as an educational tool by computer science or mathematics students studying computational or automata theory. (MP)

A computer curriculum including literacy and programing skills is viewed as an example of a program which can easily provide both acceleration of the rate of learning and enrichment through development of higher-level thinking skills. A program used with fifth through eighth grade children in Tempe, Arizona is described. (MP)

Recommendations regarding literacy and the responsibilities of science educators are reviewed. The opportunity for pioneering, base-line research studies on the use of microcomputers in the classroom is viewed to exist. Significant contributions science education can make to computer literacy are noted. (MP)

Abstracts from eight papers presented at the June 1982 National Educational Computing Consortium (NECC '82) conference in Kansas City, Missouri are provided. It is noted copies of the conference proceedings may be purchased from the Department of Computer Science, University of Iowa. The papers examine a variety of educational aspects. (MP)

Contains annotations for resources on the history of computing. Includes resources for technical computing history, general computing history, precomputer era, the impact of computing and series. (CW)

Details of a rigorous two-semester course of study designed to equip secondary school teachers of mathematics and science to use computers in their classrooms are provided. Descriptions of individual student projects are included. (MP)

This study reports that artistic and social vocational-personality characteristics are associated with greater anxiety and less involvement or success in mathematics and computer courses. A concept of population variability in computer anxiety which is associated with individual differences in vocational personality is supported. (MVL)

This two-part article deals with the design and construction of a primitive Von Neumann computer using a logic design simulator. Describes the design of the computer memory and its register structure. Six layouts of the computer architecture are presented. Lists three references. (YP)

Discusses artificial intelligence, its definitions, and potential applications. Provides listings of Logo and BASIC versions for programs along with REM statements needed to make modifications for use with Apple computers. (RT)
