Computers added to group work situations for hearing impaired students can be an important instructional tool. Teachers should consider the instructional applications of microcomputers in addition to its assessment role. (CL)

The computer assisted evaluation approach used at the California School for the Deaf-Fremont focuses on reading and language skill development. An inventory of computer lessons has been developed to match appropriate activities to student needs. Examples of lessons geared for different language ability levels are provided. (CL)

Discusses selected aspects of understanding spoken foreign language within the parameters of a suggested model of listening comprehension. Suggests some educational strategies in accordance with the proposed model and indicates some of the ways in which computer-assisted learning might help to develop listening comprehension. (EKN)

An annotated list of computer software for use in elementary and secondary social studies courses is provided. (RM)

An experiment at Channel 23 (Richmond, Virginia), a medium-sized television station, involves computer-assisted instruction for a geographical area covering 53 public school districts. (CJB)

Evaluated the use of computer-automated reading in reading instruction for primary students. Results indicated that compared to controls, students in the experimental group experienced significant achievement gains. The resource role of the school psychologist is also discussed. (JAC)

Discusses some aspects of computer-assisted instruction, particularly in computer-aided language learning. Argues that computers will continue to provide enough resources for varied language teaching but that they will be useless in language instruction unless lessons are created that bring the computer and the teacher into close educational…

This guide to using computer authoring aids to develop interactive instructional programs covers types of aids, languages, costs, mainframes, and key considerations. A sampling of resources with manufacturers' names and addresses is included. (SK)

LOGO, a graphics language that helps the student participate in a consistent, self-correcting learning environment, can help children with learning disabilities think about thinking. (CL)

Selected recent literature on microcomputers in education is reviewed, and developments are discussed regarding modes of learning, availability of computer learning, types of computers used in schools, program sophistication, and the "hidden curriculum" in computer learning. The status of programs in British Columbia is assessed, and suggestions…

Describes the use of video display terminals in the journalism lab of a Florida university. Discusses the different purposes for which broadcast and print journalism students use such equipment. (HTH)

The three computer-assisted instruction packages met the goals set for them. They fit the course objective of giving students more experience dealing with the experimental method; they added a new dimension to the learning resources available to students; and they integrated computer and written work.
