McConnell, Barry – Creative Computing, 1982
Describes several ways in which microcomputers have been adapted to needs of the handicapped. One system consists of a Dynatyper (solenoid driven array of plastic plungers sitting above typewriter keyboard), Braillewriter, and Apple II microcomputer which produces hard-copy braille. (JN)

Zollman, Dean; Fuller, Robert – Creative Computing, 1982
An interactive, instructional videodisc was produced using films on wave motion/vibrations and Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse. The disc is appropriate for three levels of physics (physics/algebra; physics/calculus; non-major physics). Program sections (introduction to videodisc player, bridge collapse, influence of wind, bridge properties, and…

Ahl, David H. – Creative Computing, 1983
Describes a software/hardware system for running computer-controlled physics experiments. Each set of experiments consists of a disk (for Apple 48K), instruction manual, and student manual. The pendulum and acceleration experiments are described. Although not described, experiments using a temperature probe are also available. (JN)

De Gilio, John F. – Creative Computing, 1983
Offers a rationale and method for using the hand controllers (game paddles) in the design of computer programs for student use. Methods for their use in entering data as well as in conducting pendulum and acceleration experiments are provided. Complete program listings (for Apple) are included. (JN)
