Kehrberg, Kent T.; Pollack, Richard A. – Creative Computing, 1982
The development of an economics course that uses Apple computers and videodisc players is described. The course was chosen because it is one that is frequently eliminated when school budgets are tightened and enrollments drop, and it was felt that the new technology could offer a solution. (MP)

Smith, David A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1982
Some experiences with a classroom computer graphics facility are recounted to show how such a facility has changed the views of some instructors teaching mathematics at the college level. Teachers are encouraged to search out and seize opportunities to acquire graphics hardware, with the added teaching capabilities promoted. (MP)

Shumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
The view promoted is all children should have the opportunity to write and run computer programs, and instruction can begin in the first grade. Teaching mathematics is seen as involving 50 percent theory and 50 percent computing and computers can be involved with both aspects. (MP)

Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1982
A study conducted at Crafton Hills College in California indicated that when traditional lecture presentation in a college mathematics course is supplemented with Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), student performance is greatly improved. Results showed test scores were significantly higher for those students who received CAI than for the…

Cooper, Richard P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Ideas are presented which are designed to help teachers get started on using microcomputers. It is stated that getting acquainted with a computer is easier than it looks. Instructors are encouraged to take on the challenge offered by the machine. Microcomputers are seen as much more than another audiovisual aid. (MP)

Etlinger, Leonard E.; Ogletree, Earl J. – 1982
The focus of this document is on descriptions of calculators, microcomputers, and related educational technology and materials. Calculators are viewed as innovative teaching tools that can have both practical and pedagogical functions in the classroom to enhance understanding and achievement in mathematics. Microcomputers are seen as glorified…

Hill, Shirley A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Teachers need to answer two questions: (1) How do computer software and activities contribute to meeting objectives? and (2) Do instructional plans take advantage of the computer's unique potential? Instructional and management uses of computers are discussed, with the teachers' role described. (MP)

Signer, Barbara – 1982
The purpose of this study was to conduct formative and summative evaluation for Computer Integrated Instruction (CII), an alternative use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The non-equivalent control group, pretest-posttest design was implemented with the class as the unit of analysis. Several of the instruments were adopted from existing CAI…

Kantowski, Mary Grace – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Four goals of teaching for problem solving and the characteristics of microcomputers that could be used to further these goals are examined. The combination of an enthusiastic teacher and the new technology is expected to open up new vistas of possibilities for problem solving in the curriculum of the 1980's. (MP)
