Lindroth, Linda – Teaching Pre K-8, 2004
WordArt is a wizard feature in MS Word that changes text into a graphic object. It is located in the MS Word menu bar: Insert, Picture, WordArt. Text can be edited to create a multitude of special effects--all with very little, if any, graphic arts training. WordArt is perfect for word processing writing, allowing even primary students to create…

Rudnytsky, Joanne B. – 1982
It is more important for children to learn concepts in mathematics than to be able to perform automatic computational functions. By permitting manipulation of the relationships among visible objects, computer graphics can make it easier for students to grasp concepts and can serve as an essential ingredient in effective computer-assisted…

Elsner, Thomas E. – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1983
Presents author's view of how computer graphics produced in the classroom enhance mathematical concepts teaching. Specific concepts and related graphics presented include the convergence of power series and the Central Limit Theorem. Formal versus informal instruction, computer assisted instruction versus teaching, and requirements for future…

Maddux, Cleborne D. – Computers in the Schools, 1984
Discussion of Logo use to teach children computer programing covers the educational theory behind Logo, how it differs from other programing languages, its educational promise, its graphics capabilities, Logo research, and different versions available. It is argued that educational computing will succeed only if it provides new ways of teaching.…
