Provides an overview of the Rexx programing language and presents a sample utility program to illustrate the advantages of the Rexx language as an alternative to Basic. Eight references are listed. (MES)

A brief description of a test generating program which generates questions concerning the Fortran programming language in a random but guided fashion and without resorting to an item bank.'' (Author/AK)

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…

Teaching methods which emphasize understanding and insight can be effectively supported and expanded by using A Programming Language (APL) as a notation for both writing the algorithms of a discipline and then exploring the behavior of these algorithms by computer. (Author/LS)

The exciting potential of Logo to free trapped intelligence in handicapped learners has been the subject of several years of research by the MIT Logo group. Uses of Logo with an autistic child and with a cerebral palsied child are discussed. (JN)

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

This series of manuals describing and illustrating the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was planned as a self-teaching instrument, beginning with the basics and progressing to an advanced level. Information on what the searcher must know to define the data and write a program for preliminary analysis is contained in manual 1,…

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)
