Reports on a process which allows active study of mutating the characteristics of a population of organisms. States that the program, written in C, should run on a MS/DOS system with 640K; CGA is required for graphics output. Describes implementation procedures and two examples using the program. (RT)

Describes three case studies of the Huntington II POLUT model, which was run on both the University of Waikato computer system and a bank of four TRS-80s. Prospects for the development of computer based environmental education in New Zealand are also discussed. (LLS)

Presents the listing for a TRS-80 Model III program which illustrates the first law of robotics (all robots must be programed so that none of their actions will be harmful to man). Also discusses the rational for and development of the program. (JN)

A program at the secondary school-level used microcomputers in multigrade math and science courses. The microcomputers reinforced science and math lessons in three ways: through drill and practice, simulations, and program writing. (JN)

A project called Image Processing for Teaching provides real-world experiences for students with deafness or hearing impairments, through computerized image exploration. Students use computer technology to judge the impact of building a dam, study gravity through the flight of a basketball, and understand scientific concepts that previously…

Program listing for a computer game on kinematics is provided. Documentation for the listing (in Microsoft BASIC) and rationale for using computer games in the classroom are also provided. (JN)

Eight categories of software available for educational use (including tutorial, games, administrative utilities, and simulation) are described and the application of a microcomputer for hearing impaired secondary students at the Iowa School for the Deaf is detailed. Software selection criteria are considered. (CL)

Describes a computer program that can model the equilibrium processes in the production of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, sulfur trioxide from sulfur dioxide and oxygen, and the nitrogen dioxide-dinitrogen tetroxide equilibrium. Provides information about downloading the program ChemEquilibrium from the World Wide Web. (JRH)

Describes five categories of computer programs useful for content area reading instruction: utility programs, word processing, simulations, telecommunications for access to a database, and story architecture. (HOD)

A computer program is presented which simulates the classical probability machine, using Applesoft II high-resolution graphics. Many variables are left to the user's choosing. Suggestions for using the machine, understanding the problem, the mathematical model, and further program documentation are given. (MNS)

A study assessed the effects of three teaching strategies that incorporated a microcomputer component: (1) tutorial, (2) drill and practice, and (3) simulation. Each strategy was compared with one another and with the traditional lecture/discussion method. Student achievement and attitudes were essentially equal in all four methods. (JOW)
