Synopsis
A text for first courses in educational computing, one that goes beyond "why" and "how to" use computers in the classroom to also present realistic classroom applications based on research and theories of learning and cognition. This text is written specifically for future teachers with little or no computer background. Part 1 explores major concepts related to instructional computing, such as a research-based rationale for using computers in education, the systems information teachers need to know, and the impact of computers on classroom teaching and curriculum planning. Part 2 deals with such applications as word processing, data management, spreadsheets, and communications. Each application is thoroughly explained, with numerous examples of its relevance to classroom practice. It includes coverage of the BASIC and LOGO languages and discussion of the entire process of evaluating, purchasing, and implementing computers in the educational setting.
