Describes the design of a simple yet flexible microprocessor and how to construct it using a breadboard. (DC)

Responses to a recent survey of children's impressions of personal computers are provided. The views about computers in the classroom are thought to clearly show the ease pupils have with such machines in their daily lives. The students quoted are deemed enthusiastic, confident, and creative users. (MP)

The history and projected future of advances in computer-based information technology are detailed along with the potential benefits and dangers of whole-scale use of this technology. (MP)

Construction of a separate data base for university planning information is proposed. Characteristics of a planning system and its relationship to other university systems are discussed as well as the need for data bases that contain both quantitative and nonquantitative information. (BH)

Discusses the technological changes that have occurred in computers and the recent and projected employment trends in the major computer occupations. Implications of growth in computer occupations are examined in five areas: education, recruiting techniques, salaries, competition between industry and education, and employment opportunities. (CT)

Several computer-oriented lessons designed to explore and exploit the problem-solving capabilities of currently available, inexpensive systems are presented. The programing language BASIC is featured. (MP)

The development of a mathematics model to simulate small animal populations is described. Assumptions of the population model and options in the program are discussed. (MK)

A survey of department heads and faculty members provides information to update a 1977 report on the current state of instructional computers in institutions of higher education. (MK)

Describes the development of computer education and computer-aided learning during the first ten years of the British Open University and discusses some of the problems associated with the use of computers in distance education. (Author)

The reasons for the relatively small amount of computer usage in schools is reviewed. The author outlines several problems and predicts a long uphill struggle before they become well established in the classroom. (MP)

Ideas and examples that support the problem-solving role of computers in the classroom are given: procedures, techniques, and sample problems that can be used with beginning, intermediate, and advanced students have been included. (MP)

The university librarian at Columbia University discusses the need for a national cooperative strategy for research libraries in the network environment. The advent of widespread computer technology and the impact on research libraries is described. (MP)

Stating that the greatest potential impact of computer use in extension is not in providing information but in teaching how to analyze problems, the author discusses use of the computer as an educational method and offers some considerations to keep in mind when designing computerized learning packages. (MF)

Shows that there are potential problems associated with technological change which demand both serious analytical treatment and the development of sophisticated industrial and social policies. Discusses the office sector, office technology, employment, and trade unions. (CT)

Outlines career paths and education requirements for computer science occupations. Discusses ways in which business educators can incorporate computers and data processing into the curriculum, and can keep themselves abreast of current developments. (SK)
