Peer reviewedLuehrmann, Arthur – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
It is argued that the objectives identified by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium should not be viewed as a list of what should be taught, but as a picture of what was actually practiced in 1978 and 1979. Future courses are viewed as having heavy emphasis on computer-student interaction. (MP)

Peer reviewedAnderson, Ronald E.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
The approach taken by representatives of the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) to define computer literacy objectives is defended. The MECC approach is termed a comprehensive view of literacy that incorporates programing, awareness, and other aspects. It is felt that hands-on computer experience alone does not guarantee literacy.…
