The key to minimizing length of ride and costs for special education students is accurate placement and scheduling, managed under firm policy, and use of modern administrative resources, including computers. This article details procedures for establishing central computer files and programs (especially graphics) to aid transportation functions.…

This guide was developed to help art teachers see and teach the computer as an art tool. Organized in two sections, the 12 chapters in part 1 explore computer art as an art form, discuss why and how to use the computer as an art teaching tool, and give strategies and lesson suggestions for student explorations and activities in the artroom. Part 2…

This work presents a collection of craft projects that can be created by children. Necessary for completion of each craft is an IBM-compatible computer running Windows, "Word for Windows 6.0," with a mouse, a printer, and plain white printer paper. Simple craft supplies, including glue and scissors, also are needed. In each activity the child is…

Discusses the use of Lotus 1-2-3 to create non-stop graphic displays of simulation models. Describes a simple application of this technique using the distribution resulting from repeated throws of dice. Lists other software used with this technique. Stresses the advantages of this approach in education. (CW)

Discusses several theoretical and technical aspects of computer-graphics development that are useful for creating hypermedia and multimedia materials. Topics addressed include primary bitmap attributes in computer graphics, the jigsaw principle, and raster layering. (MSE)

The integrated compiler of the Turbo Pascal environment allows the execution of a completed program independent of the developed environment and with greater execution speed, in comparison with LOGO. Conversion table of turtle-graphic commands for the two languages is presented. (Author/YP)

Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) programs are used to teach drafting at an Indiana high school. The school system's maintenance department shared use of the software and equipment to produce original drawings of school buildings. (MLF)
