Hunter, Beverly – Classroom Computer News, 1983
Offers and discusses three suggestions to capitalize on two developments related to system dynamics modeling and simulation. These developments are a junior/senior high textbook called "Introduction to Computer Simulation" and Micro-DYNAMO, a computer simulation language for microcomputers. (Author/JN)

Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. Planning and Research Branch. – 1979
Phase 1 of this report summarizes a simulated approach to analysis of energy consumption in five selected Alberta schools. Phase 2, the greater part of the report, deals with the selection of cost-effective modifications in two schools representative of the greatest range of schools presently in the system. In each of the schools, the energy…

Roberts, Nancy – Classroom Computer News, 1983
Discusses steps involved in model building and simulation: understanding a problem, building a model, and simulation. Includes a mathematical model (focusing on a problem dealing with influenza) written in the DYNAMO computer language, developed specifically for writing simulation models. (Author/JN)

Rutherford, Malcolm – Economics, 1976
Two assumptions are critically examined: that concrete to abstract learning sequences are effective; and that through computer gaming students can simultaneously achieve varied educational goals. It is seen that the worth of computer gaming cannot be established without careful testing. For journal availability see SO 504 970. (Author/AV)

Chambers, Jack A.; Bork, Alfred – 1980
A sample of 974 school districts was surveyed by mail to determine the current and projected use of computers in United States public secondary/elementary schools, with special reference to computer assisted learning. Returned questionnaires provided a 62.3 percent response rate, and were balanced both geographically and by urban/rural…

South Dakota State Div. of Elementary and Secondary Education, Pierre. – 1977
This report describes the development of a computer simulation intended to aid the South Dakota State Legislature in reforming the state school finance system. The report briefly describes the rationale for the simulation, the process by which it was developed, the policy assumptions on which it is based, and its major strengths and weaknesses.…

Zielinski, Edward J.; Bethel, Lowell J. – Science Teacher, 1983
Describes the use of an Energy-Environment Simulator in environmental/energy education programs. The simulator is a specially designed analog computer that simulates real-world conditions of energy production and use. Energy resources, demands, and the environmental effects of energy use are programmed into the computer. (Author/JN)

Olds, Henry F., Jr. – 1982
Microcomputers have the potential to alter the entire learning environment and change the nature of education, but the use of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) methods developed when computers were less readily available can endanger or retard the change. Designed to increase the efficiency of the teaching of course content, CAI makes no attempt…
