This guide, written for high school students in Atlanta, Ga., explains how to use the computer system available to Atlanta high school students and teachers. The system is a remote terminal system. The language used for it is called APL/360 (A Programming Language for the IBM 360 computer). The guide explains how to sign on the computer, send…

A computer language and hardware for instructional use. (RA)

Acquaints the reader with the personal computer, emphasizing its use as an aid in the learning process; considers the types of hardware available and software related to educational uses; and offers advice to those just entering this area. (Author)

Problems of administrative and faculty understanding of computer use in schools are discussed. Administrators are said to need to know more about computers and to help the faculty overcome misapprehensions. Administrators are urged to create computer-assisted instruction projects in their own fields, as a means of becoming better acquainted with…

Two aspects of educational technology are considered. The first involves the development of educational technology highly dependent on computer equipment, and the development of a computer assisted instruction language called Programmed Language for Interactive Teaching (PLANIT). The second aspect involves the development of educational technology…

LOGO is a programming language developed at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc., specifically for use in teaching. It provides the student with a set of numerical and symbolic primitives as elements for gradually building extended, complex program structures. The building of these structures is facilitated by a procedure-oriented programming heuristic…

Describes the current use and potential of the LOGO programing language in a variety of educational situations. (JL)

Clarifies often misconstrued distinctions with regard to microcomputers, minicomputers, and maxicomputers. Criteria for educational use of microcomputers are examined, including its potential for language and peripheral expansion, and its communication capabilities. (MER)

In three parts, this booklet provides elementary teachers with definitions of essential computer terminology and examines instructional uses of computers and computer-related activities. Terms defined are computer, interactive computing, computer hardware, computer software, and programming languages. Part 2 explores the main categories of the…

This bibliography lists 168 articles, books, and instructional materials for anyone interested in learning more about the LOGO programming language. Items listed range from research reports and program descriptions to lesson plans and activities. Specific titles include "A Beginner's Guide to LOGO"; "LOGO Music"; "Printing…

The Project C-BE plan for a data communications system is designed to support a dedicated minicomputer time-shared system for undergraduate use. The system is flexible and accepts a wide variety of terminal devices for a broad range of course materials. Provision is made for expansion and updating of equipment and data, and a commonly supported…

Discusses the nature of expert systems, including various techniques they use to represent knowledge (such as production rules, semantic networks, frames, first-order logic, and others), system interactions, and such problem domains as science, medicine, computer configuration, trouble-shooting/repair, and oil/mineral exploration. Also discusses…

Reviews such computer assisted instructional techniques as simulations, tutorials, and educational games, suggesting that educational software and computer-literate teachers are needed before electronic education becomes pervasive. Additional areas addressed include programming languages, providing sample BASIC, LOGO, SMALLTALK, and SOPHIE…

Designed for anyone facing decisions about where, how, and even whether they will use microcomputers for instruction, management, or administration, this manual emphasizes that computer technology, particularly microcomputer technology, is neither all good or all bad for schools. It was developed to discuss the pros and cons of computer technology…
