Describes an interactive computer program designed to provide graphical representations of chemistry and engineering experimental data sets and results of data analyses. Extremely flexible, the program requires no reprograming when new models are used. Models are entered into the program as input lines. (JN)

How a computer randomly generates numbers to turn off lighted blocks on a graphics display is discussed. A computer program is given after reviewing a definition and two theorems and applying them to the problem. (MNS)

Describes a short computer program written in Logo programing language designed to provide students with new experiences in the study of vectors as they apply to classical physics. Suggestions for introductions, preparation, follow-up activities, and program examples are included. (EJS)

Examines origins of the LOGO computer programing language, describes its capabilities, and compares available LOGO systems for use on various microcomputers noting producer/distributor, price, hardware, user group, backup, debugging aids, and comments. A resource list of books, articles, newsletters, and research reports is included. (EJS)

The use of microcomputers to aid geometry instruction is emphasized through discussion of a program written in BASIC which provides for experimenting with polynomial curves. The program listing is included. (MP)

Discusses computer assisted foreign language instruction. Describes what to look for in computers and gives common problems in hardware and software. Discusses future technology that will be useful in foreign language classrooms. (EKN)

A set of teacher guidelines for use in developing effective computer-assisted instruction lessons enhanced with computer graphics. (JJD)

A problem is detailed which has a solution that embodies geometry, trigonometry, ballistics, projectile mechanics, vector analysis, and elementary computer graphics. It is felt that the information and sample computer programs can be a useful starting point for a user written code that involves missiles and other projectiles. (MP)

A hungry worm is looking for something to eat according to very specific rules, and the path he takes is a graph. The problem is detailed in Applesoft BASIC using low resolution graphics for worms that turn 90 degrees and high resolution for worms that can turn 45 degrees. (MP)

A program developed by a high school freshman is presented that plots unusual graphs on the screen of a TRS-80 computer. The view promoted is that teachers of advanced mathematics should not be surprised if new ways of looking at the subject come from students interacting with computers. (MP)

Offers advice on incorporating computer applications with copy editing procedures. Discusses stylistic considerations (based on the Associated Press stylebook) and headlines. (RL)

Describes a presentation of basic quantum mechanics for nonscience majors that relies on a computer-generated graphic display to circumvent the usual mathematical difficulties. It allows a detailed treatment of free-particle motion in a wave picture. (MLH)

Discusses aspects of school home pages: school policy, parental involvement and concerns, Internet access and commercial providers, HTML programming, links to other Web pages, graphics, and the importance of proofreading. (PEN)

Presents evaluation criteria for Internet and World Wide Web resources. Scope, content, graphic and multimedia design, purpose and audience, reviews, workability, and cost are discussed; criteria used by Internet evaluation sites are listed; and an annotated list of 10 evaluation sites on the Web is appended. (LRW)

Two controlled experiments examined whether the animated zooming effect accompanying the opening or closing of a folder in the Apple Macintosh graphical user interface aids in the user's perception of which window corresponds to which folder. Results suggest users may become attuned to the informational content of the zooming effect with…
