Creative Computing, 1980
This reprint of a Project Solo curriculum module discusses graphing by computer, gives an example of a BASIC program used to graph a second degree polynomial, and provides suggested exercises in programing. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs
Kirschner, Lou – Creative Computing, 1979
A computer program is used to aid students and their parents in choosing a college. (MP)
Descriptors: College Choice, Computer Programs, Counseling, Counseling Services
Mathes, Stanley L. – Creative Computing, 1982
It is felt that all the basic programing concepts can be taught by giving students experience with graphics. Students are viewed to be working on problems that truly interest them, rather than on the standard fare presented in most courses. A description of a class and a graphing program are included. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Programs, Computers, Higher Education
Ahl, David H. – Creative Computing, 1983
Describes a software/hardware system for running computer-controlled physics experiments. Each set of experiments consists of a disk (for Apple 48K), instruction manual, and student manual. The pendulum and acceleration experiments are described. Although not described, experiments using a temperature probe are also available. (JN)
Descriptors: Acceleration (Physics), College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs
Barnett, Bruce D. – Creative Computing, 1979
A discussion of differential equations is accompanied by an analysis of two situations whose solutions require differential equations. A computer program is given that will solve these equations. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Programs, Computers
De Gilio, John F. – Creative Computing, 1983
Offers a rationale and method for using the hand controllers (game paddles) in the design of computer programs for student use. Methods for their use in entering data as well as in conducting pendulum and acceleration experiments are provided. Complete program listings (for Apple) are included. (JN)
Descriptors: Acceleration (Physics), College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs
Piele, Donald T.; Wood, Larry E. – Creative Computing, 1977
Examples of problem solving by the method of contradiction are given along with adapted computer programs. (MN)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Higher Education, Instruction, Logic
Stein, Philip – Creative Computing, 1978
A discussion of computer errors and round-offs is given with the conclusion that attempts to get rid of these almost always result in generating more errors. (MN)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computer Science Education, Computers, Higher Education
Swenson, Richard P.; Anderson, Chrys – Creative Computing, 1982
The most important function of reinforcement in computer assisted instruction is a motivational one, providing students with a reason for learning. Discusses primary, secondary, and generalized reinforcers and four factors influencing the effectiveness of reinforcers (timing, appropriateness, relevancy, and configuration). (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Programs, Elementary Secondary Education, Higher Education
McConnell, Barry – Creative Computing, 1982
Describes several ways in which microcomputers have been adapted to needs of the handicapped. One system consists of a Dynatyper (solenoid driven array of plastic plungers sitting above typewriter keyboard), Braillewriter, and Apple II microcomputer which produces hard-copy braille. (JN)
Descriptors: Blindness, Braille, Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Technology
Lappan, Glenda; Winter, M. J. – Creative Computing, 1979
The computer is used to simulate repetitions of games used in teaching expected value. Details of the games and the computer programs are given. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computers, Games, Higher Education
Morton, A. Kent – Creative Computing, 1979
A description is given of the development of a series of computer-oriented college textbooks with an emphasis on pedagogy and the role the computer plays in supporting that pedagogy. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, College Science, Computer Oriented Programs, Computers
Dwyer, Thomas A. – Creative Computing, 1977
This is Part II of a description of BASIC programming language, including explanations of "for...next" and "tab" commands. (JH)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computers, Elementary Secondary Education, Flow Charts
Piele, Donald T.; Wood, Larry E. – Creative Computing, 1977
Described are random, systematic, and guided trial-and-error strategies for problem-solving with a computer. (JH)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Computer Programs, Computers, Elementary Secondary Education
Schiffer, Doug; Brooks, Sarah – Creative Computing, 1980
Presented are two computer programs which can be used to minimize the effort and time necessary to graph several individual functions. (TG)
