A facetious approach to programing a minicomputer is presented. (MK)

Some of the important concepts in recursive programing are detailed, along with how they can be used. Examples are provided to show how to program recursively in BASIC. (MP)

A few basic principles that highlight the design of screen displays are detailed. It is noted that none of the principles will help programing efforts, but efforts at improvement in the direction described is expected to result in a more professionally designed work that users appreciate. (MP)

A discussion of computer errors and round-offs is given with the conclusion that attempts to get rid of these almost always result in generating more errors. (MN)

A collection of interviews and an overview of the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) are presented. (MP)

Pocket computers are promoted as an inexpensive means of teaching computer programing, particularly in today's world where there are increasing difficulties of obtaining funds for new curriculum materials. Samples of programs written in BASIC that can be run on pocket computers are presented, and instruction in elementary grades is promoted. (MP)

Features of two versions of the BASIC programing language are compared with the features of the PASCAL programing language. The application chosen for comparison was a word processor. The conclusion was that PASCAL had the best language features, but BASIC had better systems capabilities. (MP)

Types and uses of single board computers are discussed. A chart comparing various aspects of 26 of these computers is presented.

This material provides details on many of the commands available in the Pilot programing language. It is noted that some of the forms described may not be found in individual Pilot systems, but most Pilot implementations will have commands to equivalent things. A list of suggestions for purchase is given. (MP)

A teaching strategy for problem solving with computers is detailed. The approach provides a "midline" level of help that encourages exploratory activity yet provides enough guidance to increase chances of pupil success. (MP)

The capability of computers and their potential for thinking are discussed. (MK)

This interview with the teacher of a computer course for elementary and junior high schools contains discussions of problems and rewards of such a course. The course is offered as an after school activity. (MP)

A process-oriented approach that can be highly successful in introducing students to computer systems concepts and terminology in an integrated manner is presented. (MP)

This reprint of one of the original Project Solo curriculum modules contains five problems and a computer program. (MK)

Ten computer languages are compared and contrasted. A series of programs focusing on the average of two numbers are designed to point out differences in console input, console output, and common arithmetic. (MP)
