There is a serious risk that the extra burden of adding instruction about microcomputers and software to regular elementary school curricula may turn off both teachers and students to the potential that microcomputers have for improving learning. To counter this risk, microcomputers should be integrated into the regular instructional program of elementary schools. This book is primarily intended for elementary school teachers who already have some experience with microcomputers but no expertise is assumed. Following an introduction to education with computers, many applications and issues are discussed, including: (1) programs for drill and practice; (2) tutorials; (3) games; (4) simulations; (5) computer error diagnosis; (6) instructional software evaluation; (7) programming; (8) problem solving; (9) word processing; (10) computer literacy; and (11) administrative uses of microcomputers. This publication contains 109 references. (CW)
Designed to put educators in touch with the literature, people, and resources that will keep them informed of the current and future state of the art in computer education, this guide provides citations from 1976 through March 1982 compiled from computer searches of ERIC, Magazine Index, and Newspaper Index, and from manual searches of Education Index, Microcomputer Index, and the library and information files of the San Mateo Educational Resources Center. Each section begins with a brief introduction. Within each section, citations are arranged by document format: journal and newspaper articles, microfiche, documents, and books and reports. A list of acronyms is included. Individual chapters focus on the following topics: futures/trends, computer literacy, philosophy, classroom applications, management applications, selection/evaluation criteria, teacher/administrator education, research studies, home computers, and references/resources. An appendix lists additional information sources, and author and subject indexes are provided. (LMM)
